| Date | 20:45:44, June 24, 2008 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Economics Reform Act 2596 |
| Message | The common people do not control the commanding heights of the economy, so the only wealth I am redistributing is the wealth of those who stole it in the first place in the form of profit. Again, I am not interested in free-market rules. Society needs to get control of the economy first, and then we can start talking about the market. |
