SENATE BILL: The Duke Corporate Tax Reform Act of 2013 (Amendment at Vote)

[President Tyrion]

Aye on Duke's amendment, if that is what we are voting on.

No, it's not. We're voting on Spiral's amendment to make the maximum tax break 5% instead of 3% and have it last for 7 years instead of 5.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I will change my vote on the amendment to Aye.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Aye on Duke's amendment, if that is what we are voting on.

No, it's not. We're voting on Spiral's amendment to make the maximum tax break 5% instead of 3% and have it last for 7 years instead of 5.

Well, I am still a nay on that.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This is still the vote started by Matt on 58:70 by Spiral (below).  Only Matt or myself can end a vote and/or start a different one. An amendment vote ends after three days or when a majority votes for or against. Even then such has to be declared so by Matt or myself.

I don't see why you people keep getting confused on this save for just being too lazy to read carefully.

[TNF]

I object to shua's amendment.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

okay I'm not sure exactly what's going on here in terms of process.

In any case, if we have a flat credit of $1000, it means that all companies get the same tax benefit for providing a job. Using a percentage of the company's tax liability as thew current tax has it would mean that a large company would get much more tax benefit for providing a job than a smaller company would.   

We could alternately make the credit a percentage of the total in salaries paid out for the new jobs - which may tend toward fewer new jobs but better paid than with a $1000/job credit. Would you be more amenable to that TNF?

[President Tyrion]

I think Shua's amendment is the right way to go and I made a mistake in introducing my amendment the way it was worded.

I think TNF objected to shua's amendment, not mine. Although I am now admittedly lost.

Aye

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

That's my amendment, not shua's, but that's fine, vote for that, it's better than what we had. We can amend clause 3 later.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am pretty sure TNF objected to yours on the previous page, Duke.
