| Message | Do corporations require tax relief, 10% is a rather small tax for corporations, I would up it to 20% personally. |

| Message | Many of our businesses are still recovering from having nuclear devices detonated nearby. Giving them a tax break can only be good for business. |

| Message | No. The taxes are already less than half of what the average person pays, and they SHOULD be even higher, but I decided against it. If we go too low, how will we afford to maintain our glorious nation? |
| Date | 22:50:52, January 28, 2006 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Tax Reform Act of 2176 |
| Message | Tax cuts are always a good thing. The no votes are by patrys who have become far to money hungry for special interests. They should be removed from office. |
