| Message | Everyone cares about our citizens, I for example support letting each citizen keep as much of the money the earn to themself as possible, which is why private charity, not government charity should be given to the less fortunate citizen |

| Message | How, by making the poor pay more taxes? This i snot charity, this is a responsible government taking care of its citizens when they are in need. A concept you don't understand. |

| Message | How about letting the poor pay what they pay, but letting everyone else pay less. And this is charity. If you disagree please let me hear what you define as charity. |

| Message | Government welfare is not charity. The people pay taxes for a reason, they want services. The government's job is to help its citizens. I know you don't agree but that is the fact. |

| Message | the people pay taxes because we force them too. This is government charity, all welfare is |

| Message | That is your opinion, I guess. |
| Date | 14:21:05, June 03, 2008 CET | From | Anarchist Party of Lodamun | To | Debating the The Minimum Wage Bill |
| Message | It's a "very basic subsistence". Do you want people starving in the streets? Also, it doesn't specify who gives them the money. It might be a minimum wage that the corporations must abide to. |
