| Message | Good election move though, increase taxes last issue before an election, that will surely get the voters attention as this is likely to be the last bill to pass before the next election! |

| Message | Where do you think these Coporations get the money to pay the taxes from? Thin air? The owners personal pocket? No, they get them by increasing the prices they charge so ultimately it is the working man who pays these taxes you idiotic socialists just cannot grasp this fundamental, 100% of Corporation theftation are paid for by the customer adding to inflation and decreasing the competitiveness of the nation. We, however are pretty sure the electorate can do basic maths, and they very soon will see the increased costs, we will of course help their understanding of who caused it. |
