Message | Removing this tax would unfortunately cause a massive increase in the debt and cannot be done. There aren't many alternatives to this until Badara can figure out how to sustain a surplus off of just income taxes; but that too would not be possible as it would require rates of almost 75% across the board. |

Message | I think that by privatizing a number of the industries and removing them from the budget, we can eliminate this tax. It should be noted that this is a very small tax in total revenue because it is so punitive that people evade it, so it can be eliminated entirely. |

Message | We reviewed the effect of an eliminated corporate tax under the newest proposed budget and found that a surplus would occur. As such we are now willing to support this bill. |

Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
