Message | Mr. Speaker, We will be voting against this bill. Regulations are costing our businesses too much. Luthori already enjoys a high standard of living and enforces some of the most stringent regulations in Terra. We've achieved much, but to further oppress business for very few gains is counterproductive and costs jobs and losses in revenue. I yield. Rt Hon. Christopher Holt MD Deputy Prime Minister Minister of Internal Affairs Leader of United Luthori |

Message | Mr.Speaker I would like to point out that Mr.Holt is an dolt who doesn't understand the life of the common man. Lets first break down his statement. First Mr.Holt, I do mot care about the minority who benefit from corporations such as the minority of us who serve in this senate and benefits off of the lobbying that these corporations do. Regulations helps the common man, the man who is working to get screwed over. We do not have high standers for the middle and lower classes. We enforce practically no regulations or very week ones. This bill makes the workers strong. But Mr.Holt may you plz show me witch articles are counter productive. Harrison Horrell Head of the NUFL |

Message | Mr. Speaker, To answer the question by the 10-year-old grade school student who can't speak properly on the floor of this Imperial Diet, not "Senate", is this: all of them. I yield. Rt Hon. Christopher Holt MD Deputy Prime Minister Minister of Internal Affairs Leader of United Luthori |
