Message | Do you not think that guaranteeing child benefit for all families will mean also caring for the children of the rich? The rich are rich enough to care for their own children and the money should instead go to the few, not the many. The poor need us, not the rich. |

Message | If we want to create a truly egalitarian society then we must use taxpayers money to benefit EVERYONE. |
