| Message | We agree since the well being of the general population should prevail over the interest of Corporation. Yet, we do warn the government to be very caution in executing the bill, since it might hinder the development of businesses. |
| Date | 02:39:59, November 26, 2014 CET | From | Royal Conservative Party | To | Debating the Business Tax Act 3763 |
| Message | Most businesses are small and employ only a few people and are run by ordinary men and women or are self employed inderviduals. Corporations whilst they get all the press are not the majority. Raising taxes due the a minority when it will harm the majority, espechally when the majority is the people it claims to help is both counter productive and short sighted. The RCP stand with the majority of small businesses and the self employed and oppose this. |

| Message | This can be easily offset by tax cuts elsewhere, mainly if possible abolish the sales tax but keeping the luxury one. Lowering the sales tax would help people spend more when purchasing at small business etc, This is only one possibility of tax reform Governor Jensen is looking at reforming. We understand the SDP caution and the RCP opposition. |
