| Message | Mr Speaker, While we support Article 2 and 3, we strongly oppose the Article 1 attempt at destroying Pontesian liberty by allowing riff-raff voting rights and such. This is typical of a matriarchy where non contributors have the same rights as contributors and soon, tyranny of the majority prevails. One fears that the theft of progressive taxation can only follow such a nakedly populist act. Sarkis Darbinyan Chairman of the Alliance of Regions |
