| Message | The Central Committee of the Front has agreed to supporting the bill, as long as the following amendments will be made: - The tax percentage on corporate profits will become 50 percent; - Strikers will not be able to be fired; - Essential goods will not be taxed at all; - Every company should be forced to have a Democratic Workers Council. If the Social Democrats will agree with this, the bill will be backed. ~The Secretary of the GCF |

| Message | We will not support a corporate tax raise to 50 percent as it will damage the innovative power of companies, but we will agree to raise it to 36 percent. We also believe that strikers should not be completely protected from being fired. We believe that the government has the ability to seperate honest strikers from those who strike without sensibility. The mandatory introduction of Democratic Workers Councils is something that we will back if it is restricted to governmental instutions, and to leave private companies to choose for themselves if they will follow us. |

| Message | The Central Committee of the Front thinks that any corporate tax below the criminally low number of 44 percent is a crime against the People that should not go unpunished. On other points the Front stays firmly put on its perspective, and wants to add the sales tax raise of luxury goods to 30 percent. The Central Committee also wants to remind the Social Democrats that we have been chosen by the Will of the People to rule this nation, so disobedience to us is disobedience to the People. ~The Secretary of the GCF |
