| Message | This would still put us in surplus, but, as things are the corporations are not being taxed enough! The bulk of tax revenue comes from the people. Anyone who makes from 22000 to 45000 pays 3% of his earnings to the government but companies only have to pay 2.5%? The tax revenue generated from corporations is 1/4 what we get from these middle class people. Does that seem right to you? |

| Message | As long as there's not a deficit...why not? If we can afford to lower taxes, then it seems sensible to do so. |

| Message | Because the burden should not fall on the people. |

| Message | I fail to see how this bill obstructs tax changes in other areas. Further, as the Federalists pointed out, burden is *always* passed on, somehow. We support. |
