Details

Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: September 3410
Description[?]:
| A great man once said "A government big enough to give you everything you want can take everything away" It is time we ask ourselves what is the role of government, is it to be a monstrousity that taxes the labor of the people only to aimlessly spend it at every whim,or is governments job to defend our rights as people, and protect our lives and wellbeing as citizens. How far should you read into wellbeing should the state be a nanny state or should citizens be self suffiecent. How many of you want to live in a place where you are forced to pay for every whim the government deems or do you wish to live in a land where you keep the fruit of your labor instead of it being taxed away. |

| Message | The Hon. Whig Party has no principles, no conviction, no sense of want of welfare and good for the people all it wants is to score electoral points wherever it can |

| Message | We only support article 1 |
| Date | 06:51:41, December 13, 2012 CET | From | Interim National Democratic Congress | To | Debating the Limited Government Resolve of 3410 |
| Message | The Whig party wants to destroy sports which are less played by article 7 it's killing those poor people who can't afford to even save their lives by article 5 and 3 it's destroying the future of our country by article 4 it's forcing our employees by turning them into corporate slaves by article 2 If it had at least proposed some subsidies in health for the poor, one could understand, but all the Hon. Whig Party wants to do is stand up to its' inhumane and insensitive party "principles". Can the parties of Deltaria which have a mandate from the people ever support such a bill or such laws which won't even give our people the chance to live, the chance to improve their talents or the chance to at least ensure even the poorest kid of world-quality education? The NC challenges the Whig Party to justify these "reforms" of incapacitation for the people of Deltaria. |

| Message | The socialist National Congress is thinking with the assumption that since we do not think the government should pay for everything in the land that we think these things should be kept from people, we believe in freedom, if sports clubs are desired the private market will provide them, if we cut this massive nanny state then we can cut taxes and allow people to choose how they spend the fruit of their labor. The national Congress thinks that they know best for the people of the nation and are better enabled to spend the peoples money on things that do not guard our freedoms or protect us but instead they offer debt slavery with priveledges granted by the state. The only thing government is good for is breaking your leg the showing up with crutches saying now what would you do without our help. Nicholas McCray whig party chairman |

| Message | The Hon Whig Party has no sense of logic The very purpose of private clubs was to ensure that all sports are encouraged, it's those very market principles which will ensure that some sports like football will be overfunded while others are left underfunded Other than that point the Whig party is only making claims in the air, without objective talk The facts are that the Whig Party has no objective points to present, and the NC has replied to every query of the Whig Party. |

| Message | The NC unlike the Whig Party do not label themselves with pseudo-ideological terms such as socialists, we support all that is practical and just, which the Hon Whig Party, doesn't seem to comprehend |
