| Message | We oppose these antisocial proposals that would hurl untold numbers of our citizens into poverty and desperation. These proposals will create nothing but inequality and poverty with the increase in crime and social unrest that follows. The SLP's proposals is only meant to increase the wealth of those who need no more wealth. We instead want to increase the wealth of society as a whole. This is done through a strong social system that gurantees equal opportunities for all citizens. Eugene Bakunin PSP speaker on Health and Social Services |
