| Message | We are not too happy with Article One - unless it is also linked to legislation to reduce the current income inequalities of Likatonian citizens. As it is - offering the same incentive to the ridiculously wealthy, as we offer to those on the subsistence line, is illogical - and something of an insult to the average Likatonian. On the other hand - with the potential for Likatonian expansion constantly debated in the Convocation - it is perhaps not a bad idea to encourage population growth at this point. We shall tentatively support, but we shall work towards reducing that wage perversion that is crippling the Likatonian move towards universal equality. |

| Message | We also disagree with Article 1, from the idea that the rich do not need our help in regards to monetary compensation, and we should be better spending our money on the less fortunate; however, the bill as a whole serves its purpose well to promote population growth in Likatonia, and so we will vote yes. |
