| Message | Erm, well 3 doesn't now. He moved them around on me, lol. Now it's 1 that violates people's rights. "The State guarantees child benefit to families classified as low-income or poor." Because this means the government will be taking money at the point of a gun from some people to give it to other people, this is wrong and violates those people's rights. |
