| Message | "Lie we all in disdain, as 'For the workers' has never before been defined as 'for the workers to be made to pay more for the pleasures of life'. The Bastards disapprove of this shafting of the population's demand for the occasional luxury concealed within the premise of a reduced lower taxation bracket." |
