| Message | Get rid of article 1 and set the sales tax lower. Also, set the sales taxes on "luxury" and "essential" goods to be the same, so that there is no "essential goods loophole". I suggest 3-4 percent for the sales taxes. The corporate tax is best set at 0, because that is the best way to compete with the rest of the world. |

| Message | Oh sorry, I had typed it yesterday and never posted it. I will try to remember... a) If we put it on essential goods it would never pass, and this NEEDS to pass b) Corporations that are hosted in Lodamun would not move because the tax is still very low and is necessary. c) cant lower it cus there is only to be a tax on luxury goods. |

| Message | a) I'll do what I can to prevent an essential/luxury loophole from passing. If you want 107 votes in favor, you know what to do. b) (0*infinity)+2=2 Taxing corporations is impossible anyway, you can only tax owners/shareholders, employees, and customers. c) See a |
