| Message | "The working family has no reason to pay for some old fool who didn't plan for their retirement wisely to support themselves. The fool's family and private charity can do that." ~Michale Tucker, Shadow Minister of Finance for the Liberty Party |
| Date | 10:27:53, October 15, 2007 CET | From | National Authoritarian Movement | To | Debating the State pension offer |
| Message | "Read carefully: We talk about a voluntary system. If the family doesn't want to pay the fool, then they just don't become part of the voluntary public retirement system. It's just an offer for people who trust more in the state of Zardugal than in a profit-making company." ~ Wilhelm Nassau, NAM candidate for President |

| Message | "No, you read carefully: this system would allow for the old fool to "volunteer" to steal tax payers money. Wouldn't be up to the family as, foolish as the man is to not plan for their retirement, he still has his free will. And on a personal note, I'd trust my fellow man over my government any day of the week, mate." ~Michale Tucker |
