| Message | "The Revolutionary Socialist Party would like to jointly inform the honorable Mr. Tucker that he is clinically insane. Government is the vanguard of the people, protecting them from corporate tyranny. This is a ridiculously moderate proposal and the opposition to it demonstrates how detached from reality many Zardugali parties are. Corporations and the wealthy have a responsibility to give back to the community, being money-sucking machines and the least productive strata of society respectively. 2% will be absolutely negligible in terms of harming investment or discouraging purchase, but will be invaluable in supplementing the economy. It is clear that some parties of Zardugal have made their preference very clear, money over people. Last time I heard, corporations existed to serve societies, now it seems societies are intended to serve corporations." -Ulysses Dunikov, Official Spokesman for the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
