| Message | We applaud Article 2; however, Article 1 is a bit drastic. John Q. Taxpayer either supports their neighbors indirectly through a corporation, or they support them directly when they are unemployed. |

| Message | You people need to learn that compromise is the machine that keeps politics in motion. UCG you could have struck down one of the most contestable and hated parts of our military policy, in your opinion, but because you are unwilling to compromise you lose the ability to foster change. Compromise. |

| Message | Oh, I apologize to the Gaullists. In our ambition to pass Article 2, we did not reach a fair consensus with other political opinions in the Senate. If this bill passes, Article 1 may always be changed to something more reasonable for our Gaullist or Populist colleagues. |
