| Message | Madam Speaker, although we also oppose the attempt to enforce personal, religion-driven moral upon free people, the most dangerous proposal in this bill is to triple the corporation tax, which is a direct assault on jobs and our nation's economic competitiveness.

| Message | OOC: As far as I know you just don't gain any. And considering that you have "excellent" visibility in all your issues (which is maximum), why bother? This is one of the few times where it makes sense to choose "abstain" instead of "no". |
