| Message | Unemployment was on the rise during the Red Star Movement's administration. In order to help alleviate unemployment, corporations need to make more money so that they can hire more people and raise their wages. Corporate taxes will start out low and over time they will gradually (emphasis on gradually) rise. Supporting this cut in corporate taxes is support for a growing economy and a happier populace. Do you really want to see the people unhappy because they can't get jobs due to these corporations not making money? |

| Message | Or put it another way: drop the corporate tax and watch our revenue actually increase. |

| Message | <chuckles> Not surprising the left wing parties vote no on this issue. Their only goal is to see every man poor in Zardugal. This is common economics: drop the corporate taxes for that they make more money, they hire more people, they raise the wages, the people become richer, unemployment drops, government revenue increases and people start making more money. Through your hate of capitalism, you fail to realize the GOOD dropping these taxes does. No all you see is the evil capitalist trying to harm the nation when infact it is going to make the nation a better place. |
