| Message | "You Heartless Capitalist Pig, you!!! We must free Aloria's working men and women who are slaves to the corrupt capitalist system you have created!!" In case you haven't noticed, at the moment there is no capitalist system. Just a whither remnant under first from Socialists, Communists, and to a slightly lesser extent Populists. The fact is people have to work to support some kind of economy, and lowering the retirement age means less people will work and more will fritter away their time playing golf. |
