| Message | Mr. Speaker, Some ask "Can we afford to support all those unable to work to provide a reasonable standard of living for themselves?" We ask "Can we afford not to?" The Lord Above asks his anointed monarchs to look after the welfare of all the subjects in their keeping, as the Good Shepherd does His Flock... what better use of Divine Right have we, if not for the betterment of the lives of our subjects? |
