| Message | By all standards, we are one of the wealthiest nations on Terra, and have been so since the reunification of our nation. Also, Income Distribution is not skewed at all. The Gini coefficient is under 0.30 in all regions. Income and wealth are more or less evenly distributed, provided by free market. We oppose all proposals in this act. The Free Market has given our people tremendous wealth unseen on nearly all other countries. |
