Message | Much as we are keen to see action taken against malingerers, laggards and criminals, we cannot support this irresponsible and callous policy. Do we really want to see people starving on our streets? Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |
Date | 01:58:58, February 09, 2007 CET | From | Militant Libertarian Front | To | Debating the Financial Personal Responsibility Act 2357 |
Message | Not relevant. |

Message | The fact that this Bill will see Aloria filled with desperate, starving people is very relevant to this discussion. Besides the immorality of such a situation, it is not only the poor who would suffer as a result. Cutting off all social security aid would inevitably lead to a huge crime wave as desperate people tried to keep themselves and their families alive. Vulnerable old people would feel the full brunt of this. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |

Message | It is far more immoral to STEAL money from one person to give to another. The "crime wave" is not relevant. You don't pay people to stop them stealing from you. |
Date | 07:56:46, February 09, 2007 CET | From | Loving Big Brother Party | To | Debating the Financial Personal Responsibility Act 2357 |
Message | Sounds to me like you're condemning the notion of tax at all. When you pay your tax, it doesn't belong to you anymore, it belongs to the state, and the Loving Big Brother Party will damn well fight to make sure that this Government will at least provide the necessities of life to all citizens. |

Message | LBBP....wakey wakey. MLF is opposed to compulsory taxation in all forms. |

Message | The MLF sounds like a bunch of militant libertarians. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |

Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
