Message | Child welfare is matter of local governments, not the federal government. |
Date | 07:55:50, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Welfare Act |
Message | Low population growth means less young people versus old people, in the population. Longer life spans mean greater financial drain per citizen, versus active working life-span. Lower population growth PLUS longer lifespan, spells fiscal disaster. Solution - increase population growth, thus repositioning the proportion of young-to-old ratio, and offsetting aging population with increased wage-earners. In summary - the Civic Conservative Party have called exactly the wrong legislation. Fortunately, we are here to show them the error of their ways, and stop them doing too much harm. You are welcome. |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
