| Message | ... Please take your communism elsewhere. This just allows for less competition in a industry that thrives already and makes our market less adaptable to foreign markets or the black market (which might as well be nonexistent with all the freedoms in this country). |

| Message | Very well, I have lessened the impact or Article I, so that only vital industries are protected, and only in the face of private collapse. |

| Message | Well maybe if the people actually did things for themselves and stopped relying on the government for everything there wouldn't be need or call for a minimum wage. A minimum wage only keeps our market from having flexibility. And if people want better pay, they can go on strike. |
