| Message | We disagree. This is an unessecary tax rise with no goal other than to limit the profits of companies and make Mordusia a less atractive business environment. |

| Message | If we create corporate tax we have to create the apparatus for taxing and monitoring the companies. We managed to lower our finance budget by 5billions by eliminating corporate tax. Creating that tax would only make the government loose money. |
| Date | 17:08:39, December 10, 2005 CET | From | Left Socialist Party | To | Debating the Corporate Tax |
| Message | We want to ensure a good financial base for social politcy, companies should be paying for it too. It is bizar that there is no tax at all on companies... |
