Message | "This honestly makes sense. How are you socialist parties so corporate? Big corporations are worse for society than rich individuals. Rich individuals create small businesses, invest, and donate to charity. Corporations don't do those things as effectively. Our party has been deemed as the corporate cronies, but you guys have corporatist policies!" ~Donny Kennedy, Secondary Chairman of the LPS |

Message | We can't see how increasing the tax on essential goods is a good idea, that would only hurt the poorest in our society. But we're very much for an increase in corporation tax. Aaron Johnsson Vice-Chairman of NLP |

Message | The bill may be nice, but we are tired the Loony Party's need to deliver half-cocked lectures at every opportunity.. Corporatism subdues Big Business to the will of the Nation, that is perhaps why the Loonies fear it so. |

Message | OOC: I'm going to be honest, I didn't mean to put this up to vote. I wanted debate, as I've had trouble getting tax bills through. Next one will have debate. |
