Description[?]:
| Herr Speaker, We propose this legislative change to give not only financial, but also symbolic, benefit to our nation. To make such a move, whilst costly, will no doubt send a clear message to all peoples of this nation that they are valuable, empowered and hardworking. I trust that all members of this Bundestag will vote in the affirmative to see that every family in the country is thriving and not merely surviving. Gerhard Papen II, LZP Leader |

| Message | Herr Papen II, This legislation is unnecessary in the sense that our current policy, under the direction of the Minister of Health and Social Services, can see a family of four supported without falling underneath the poverty line. Most families in Dorvik are of 3, enabling them to live rather comfortably with the absence of one. If they do have four family members then they still remain comfortable. |
