| Message | Mr Speaker Some worrying proposals here, many of which are damaging the very rights of the people themselves. This bill is trying stop allowing people to think, act and live for themselves. Worst of all is ending inheritance, under this sordid proposal the government will inherit everything people have worked hard to earn over their lives. Family heirlooms, sentimental items will not even be safe any longer if this bill is passed. This is an attack on decency itself! Kataoka Tomiko, Party Leader |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "Inheritance here doesn't apply to things of no-monetary value, by this we refer to things of a worth that should be required to be passed down by law, aka cars, oil refineries, businesses, and political positions. I am sorry that we think of equality friend." |
