| Message | Our forestry measure combines preservation with local control and economic value. We believe in fully privatizing the train operating companies to both ensure better service (through competition) and cut government spending. The tax rate on corporations is incredibly high and ought to be cut as a) many of the programs these tax dollars were used for have been privatized, mainly by NRP bills over the past five years b) allowing corporations to re-invest will grow the economy and do more good for the employees and the unemployed than any government program. |
