| Message | Mr. Speaker We cannot justify maintaining citizens on a bare "subsistence" allowance and then abandoning them to destitution permanently after a few months, a year or whatever. This is cruel and completely unnecessary in a prosperous society like Dorvik's. |
| Date | 05:37:03, February 03, 2011 CET | From | Bürgerlichen Soziale Union | To | Debating the Minimum Income Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is not the governments job to fund every citizens life. Situations happen when such is needed; but a individual must gain confidence; and get a new job or some kind of income. Life is hard and the government is there to help failing individuals but that does not mean fund what they want so we don't appear 'cruel'. |
