| Message | Why is the National Republican Party opposing this bill? It cuts the corporate tax rate and allows for privately owned post offices. For a party that claims to be "fiscally responsible" this seems like an odd decision to make |
| Date | 04:39:23, January 19, 2018 CET | From | National Republican Party | To | Debating the Secure Jobs Act |
| Message | The reason that I am against cutting taxes against corporations is that currently we are running a deficit and cutting taxes at this moment is not the right thing to do at this time. Also with this bill allows the government to take control of some industries which is against what the party stands for, and it is not the governments responsibility to determine working hours. I do agree with articles 2 and 5 though. |
