| Message | This bill only stands to serve the rich and destroy the trust of the people in the government. This bill is a plight against decent men and women that struggle to make ends meet in a economy driven by corrupt capitalist agendas and materialist means. We will never vote in favor of such a bill. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
