| Message | The Totalitarian Party does not support this bill. We feel the government's current welfare policy, as outlined in the Welfare Act 2096[1], is much better than the proposed. We feel a public pension system helps our government reward our nation's citizens in their later years. For those who do not want to make use of the public pension system, a private one is available.
