| Message | We support this. However, we would like to know if article 2 also includes small businesses. If so, we wouldn't agree with that article, and would like to see the percentage lowered to about 15/20% max. We agree that big corporations must be heavily taxed, but small businesses shouldn't be harmed by that |
