| Message | OOC: well I am trying to spark controversy;) Speaking of which still waiting on thay letter you sent to the President IC: Mr. Speaker We will note that Democratic Worker Council's have not been banned nor impeded in anyway. Any companies and corporations currently using them are more then free to continue to do so and enjoy the tax breaks offered. This Bill merely offers new corporations and companies the ability to govern themselves as they wish, though obviously they won't enjoy the more generous tax rate generally offered.
