| Message | This still allows that massive gap in wealth you conservatives love. You may work it out. However, while not exactly radical or even liberal, it still is a hell of a lot fairer than the current flat tax. Flat tax makes somebody on 4,000 DAR a year left with only 3020 DAR after tax, while somebody on 150,000 will be left with 127,000 DAR. It is not fair. Flat tax doesn't just rape the working classes, but your beloved middle classes as well. |

| Message | That is the incentive to do something that is worth more, if a job is needed more it becomes worth more. You are better serving the nation so you get more money and keep more money. |

| Message | There is no such thing as an incentive when the rich own all the wealth anyway. They are not going to give it away. You ruling classes treat the poor as material objects in your capitalist society, something to get more material and something to exploit for further wealth; something we won't stand for. You horde all the wealth that you have gained and maintained by exploiting the working classes, and refuse to share it out, before punishing the workers for not having "enough incentive". Do you not see where you are wrong? |

| Message | It is your fault they are poor not theirs, and so your responsibility to help them. Don't punish them for something you have caused yourself. |

| Message | Leader of the KRSL, James Johnson, had this to say to the Communist Party the other day: We would like to make a purely speculative and observational note to the Communists. The white people of Darnussia are growing restless as they are sick and tired of having communist filth in their government and with the recent murder of two white females by a pack of blacks things can only be getting more heated. There may be groups who claim association with our party and who may or may not be paramilitary in nature. We warn the communists to back away from their communist agenda before things get a little more serious that simple debating between political parties. We oppose any terrorism of any kind and are not responsible for the actions of Darnussian citizens who claim to be in association with us. Leader of KRSL, James Johnson |

| Message | [Arthur Bronstein IV, General Secretary of the CPD] The CPD refuses to acknowledge the comments of the RSL due to false racist propaganda that is being spewed out by their party. There is no racial tension in Darnussia, regardless of what you scum think and say. The only war will be the class war. I have the right mind to order the PRA to execute to racist scum one-by-one, whether in your homes, your places of work on in the street. Because let this be known: racist scum like yourselves are not welcome in Darnussia. I refuse to withdraw my comments. Any call for racist legislation or war will merit a death sentence as far as I am concerned. Workers Unite! |

| Message | The wealth of the nation is not a set amount. It can be created or destroyed. |
