| Message | IC: As a matter of fact, it can, and it should, if only to prevent further enlarging the divide between the poor and rich by salary regulation. |

| Message | We do not impose a salary cap on the "citizens" as you say. It's not the average citizens who are making over 60,000 Beluz; it's a few extremely wealthy people who exploit the hard labour of others. Kristov II, Karav Patriarch -- If this bill passes, we can expect inflation. Albert Henson, Finance Minister |

| Message | Money is a symbol of a mans worth in the economy if a man gains a substantial salary it is because he is providing something of equal worth. And are not the wealthy citizens? |

| Message | Money is not a symbol of the worth of any of the citizens I represent. My citizens are worth more than your dirty money, Paul. And who is to say you're worth more than me, or the other way around? Kristov II, Karav Patriarch |

| Message | You misunderstand me I was referring to economic worth not metaphysical worth. |
| Date | 07:21:24, July 29, 2012 CET | From | Takanashi Clan | To | Debating the Freedom Act 4 |
| Message | IC: However, we believe economic worth should be based on the metaphysical and societal worth, lest our society abandon maorality in favour of pure greed. |

| Message | More lies? Didn't you learn from any of your charges? |
| Date | 22:07:43, July 29, 2012 CET | From | House of Astredies | To | Debating the Freedom Act 4 |
| Message | Lies? Everything I just expressed was an opinion. |

| Message | If the federal council says it's a lie then it's a lie. If the federal council votes that pigs can fly, then either pigs can fly or we arrest and blame you for them not being able to fly. Money should not be a symbol of any man's worth. We are a union of counties, not a giant corporation of greedy corporate bastards. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
