| Message | Infact, it's even stated that they are treated like companies in the option. Sometimes I wish this was like in real life where your party would get murdered for doing something like this. |

| Message | Right. This is democracy my lad. We are pleased that this bill got enough support. 1. Like companies everything should be taxed. No exception to the rule. 2. The current, sorry, former situation is wrong because it excludes donations to for example humanistic organizations. My partymembers and apparently those of the BTrP might be murdered in religious orientated totalitarian regimes, but not in democracies like ours. Sounds logical, doesn't it ? |
