| Message | "Gambling is the tool of the capitalists to swindle the poor out of what little money they have, by maliciously preying on their profound desire to escape this predicament. It preys on hope." -Trent Borisovich Kalinyev, Treasurer of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |

| Message | In other words, the Revolutionary Socialists believe the people are too stupid to make decisions for themselves about how to spend their money. They need Big Brother to protect them. |

| Message | "Gambling, is a disease. It takes hold of those who can barely maintin sustenance, and by exciting the vice of greed and the virtue of hope sinks its claws in, and does not let go until it has sucked dry the poorest of the poor and cast them to the depths of hopelessness. If rich people wish to throw their money away, that is fine. But the real victims of gambling are the poorest of the poor, for whom gambling is a shamelessly exploitative tool. If the Erisian Liberation Front had the slightest trace of a conscience for the situations of those people they would never propose such a social abomination of a bill." -Natasha Danielovich Feterokov, Undersecretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
