| Message | Once again, attacking the poor, we are strongly opposed to this. Is the idea that starvation and utter poverty will get people back to work |

| Message | People can work can't they. They need to be stimulated to get a job or more jobs. The so called poor are resonsible for their own fate , no one should blame the government. |

| Message | The government doing nothing to help it's own citizens? What exactly do we do then? With all of the BLP/BFP bills removing every aspect of regulation and social service, it will be difficult to get a job when you are on the street after all state housing is removed. Just one of many measures that will greatly increase the rich/poor gap. |

| Message | LLP: "The government doing nothing to help it's own citizens?" Not true. Though, this coalition has another view of the role of the state in society. We are not spending lots of taxpayers money just to keep a large share of population being inactive. Every citizen has the responsibility to take care of supporting oneself. "What exactly do we do then? " The state will facilitate this. "With all of the BLP/BFP bills removing every aspect of regulation and social service, it will be difficult to get a job when you are on the street after all state housing is removed. Demand and supply mechanism will provide housing at a reasonable price. " Just one of many measures that will greatly increase the rich/poor gap." If you mean not everone is exactly equal, you are right. There will be more difference between the strata. We believe the middle class will increase. |

| Message | We believe that each and every one of your points is flawed, the only citizens you are helping are the rich. Is it not true that the ones unaffected by this are the rich, and that it is only the poor that will be affected? Soon, because of this insane deregulation the only job a person will be able to get is a dangerous (no health and safety regulation) and very poorly paying (no minimum wage). Also because of paying for your own medical treatment, no assistance for the poor and no state housing for the poor this dangerous and bad paying job will not suffice in paying your bills. Coupled with the corrupt private police force, a private post office that won't deliver to where you live and new strike limitation laws, won't this be a glorious country? |

| Message | We will be a prosperous nation again with every possibility for individuals to develop oneself in a market orientated society with free choices and no useless taxpayers money spending of a big, costly bureaucratic and inefficient state apparatus with an appalling service level. |

| Message | "Every adult citizen has to work for a living. The state should not provide people with a minimum income." - Some people can't work, you know. Under these new laws, we may as well kill them now to save them the suffering you will cause them, I suppose. |

| Message | What a pessimism again. People can insure themselves against disablement. Besides that there are enough private charity institutions who are happy to support these citizens with money, housing and finding jobs. |

However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
