| Message | The so called wealthy are the people who create work places. If the buy a boat for 1million that means 1 million go to tools, workers, shops, food and i can continue forever. We are totaly against this. When the wealthy dissapear for this country who will then give the citizents work, salary and such? |

| Message | Rich people are more likely to save their money while it is the poor who are more likely to spend it and contribute to the economy. By redistributing wealth we can therefore boost the economy rather than hurting it. |

| Message | You will only boost it for maybe a couple of years before the rich moves from this country, then the state budget will get really hurt. It seems you forget that those "rich bastards" creates work places. Without rich people it would not motivate anyone to create new industri at all. Look at Norway, only lives on Oil. When the oil is gone, we are gone. Norway was insanely poor for 60 years ago, now we are among the richest in the world. But its only because the money USA and England gave us to build oil rigs. When we got the oil rigs we got money. In 50 years if we dont build new oil rigs in Lofoten we will be as poor as D.R Congo |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
