| Message | Madam Speaker, This is unbearable and completely provocative to average working people. Such corporate welfare is shameless, big business doesn't need any welfare granted to it and paid for by raising income taxes (DP Income Tax Plan) on people earning 15,000 per year. All you voting for this should hang your heads with shame. John Luke Malancha Co-Chair of the LOL |

| Message | Madam Speaker, this is a disgraceful proposal which would let big business get away with contributing next to nothing to Dranish public services. Big business should be coughing up more, not getting away with paying even less! Diego Barreto MP (Leader of the DSP) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, as the ultra-leftists have failed to provide a single valid argument against abolishing the corporation tax - welfare, by definition, is a grant paid by someone else and NOT allowing someone to keep his own money - we will try to make the case against it from a right-wing point of view. Even though we believe that the state should be radically and extensively trimmed to an absolute minimum, we are still committed to maintaining law and order as well as public security, which requires strong armed forces, police and courts. Businesses benefit from these services just as any individual citizen, thus we believe that they should also contribute to their funding, albeit tax rates need to be kept as low as possible for both people and businesses. Luciano Eustáquio MP Member for Ulbrach GNP Parliamentary Leader |

| Message | Madam Speaker, I am delighted to hear the Honourable Member Luciano Eustaquio making such an eloquent case for taxing businesses. Perhaps he could now be persuaded to agree to taking them just a little bit more? Diego Barreto MP (Leader of the DSP) |
| Date | 07:15:15, February 22, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the corporation tax |
| Message | Madam speaker this incentive would only attract more business thus creating more jobs and a better overall economy, the DP is saddened to see that the leftist parties who claim to be true patriots are blocking the road to a greater Dranland, many of the largest economies offer this incentive to larger corporations. |
