| Message | We agree that profits should go to the people, but keep in mind that as abusive as corporations can be and how rich their execs can get, they're still made up of thousands and thousands of people. With a tax rate as obscene as 90%, the corporations will fire almost all of their workers because they can't afford to pay them. |
| Date | 00:42:05, March 01, 2012 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the Corporate Responsibility Act |
| Message | Your opposition represents a rejection of the principle 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his need'. |
