Message | "If citizens wanted their money going to charity, they'd spend it on private charity, as they know that the private sector is far more efficient." ~Ruben Memorial, Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister |

Message | "Even the richest don't give as much to charity as the government can provide, most of those who give are those who can't afford it. Also, most private charities are ridiculously inefficient and suck up most donations in administrative costs, which is their incentive. Government aid is the only effective, efficient way to deal with it. Reactionary logic would have us believe that 2+2=3, probably because the reactionary has pocketed the additional 1." -Natasha Danielovich Feterokov, Undersecretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
