| Date | 11:24:26, September 11, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Pension Proposal |
| Message | This legislation undermines personal initiative and responsibility - why can't individuals be trusted to manage their own money effectively to save for their own retirement without the nanny-State doing it for them? |
| Date | 22:10:24, September 11, 2009 CET | From | People's Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Pension Proposal |
| Message | In response to the RHP comments: We at the PPR fail to see how the addition of this bill will affect the personal initiative of individuals. This bill shows support for our aging nation, and as such the PPR fully support this bill. |
| Date | 02:48:00, September 12, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Pension Proposal |
| Message | This legislation undermines personal initiative because it presumes that Rutanian citizens are incapable of saving for retirement of their own volition and on their own merits. This is nanny-state welfarism at its worst. |
