| Message | Hmmm I don't know.... Seems like something that will make people happy; I'm still not sure though. Shouldn't we be focusing our attention on more important things and let the free-market economy handle this? Capitalism spawns growth... |

| Message | No, it should not be something the free-market controls, or else our people will be paying up the ass for phone bills. We should provide free phone lines. We don't need much growth. Capitalism also spawns greed, and greed is not something Egelion needs. |

| Message | Spoken like a true socialist... Instead of using money to pay for free phone service for all, build more low-income housing, divert funds to healthcare or education, not this! Anyways, we do not support this. |

| Message | Our party believes that controlled capitalism spawns growth, monopolies by governments or corporations are never good. We appreciate the sentiment of the Socialist Democrats however, free or discounted telephone service for those who could not afford it otherwise would be most appreciated, but not the middle or upper classes. |
