| Message | Have you no shame congressman. Why do you always strive for taxing the life out of the people. Its almost like you do this because you get som sick pleaseure out of it. We in the RCA will always fight against the tyranny, oppression and totalitarism in which the socialists and communists stand for and belive in, even though they now deny it their roots are still strong in their movement. Andrew Jackson, Chairman of the Republican Centrist Alliance. |

| Message | It is not us socialists who have wrought oppression, and tyranny, but rather you Republicans who seek to empower the true oppressors; the rich, who exploit the workers of the middle class, which you have the audacity to claim you care about; the religious radicals that seek to force the hardworking, accepting, compassionate Likatonians into forced compliance of their prejudice ways; and the RCA leadership, who has for decades sought to damn the poor, and allow the right wing radicals to run amuck, destroying the nation that the people of Likatonia have spent their lives building. Mr. Jackson I have shame, shame that I am forced to share this congressional hall, with self-serving, money grubbers, who don't give a dadgum, hoot about the poor, or any Likatonians not hypnotized by your party.

| Message | We don't share our view with neither the RCA nor the PSPL. Our point of view is radically different: we believe the rich indeed deserve what they gain, and in fact contribute a lot to our economy: we need them. But the fact is that the rich indeed need the state too, to provide them with services they can't have by themselves, such as defense, police, law, health and safety regulations, an so on. More than that, they need a government to provide services that they can afford to those who cannot, i.e. education, health care, subsidies, pensions, etc. That is not only for the sake of humanity and generosity, but also to get these unfavored people inside society, to promote them to do productive things for society, and to bring them away from crime, theft and an anarchocapitalist murder dystopia. That is a very skinned way of saying why taxes are important, and this means the rich have to contribute to the cause more than the poor: because they can, and because they need to.

| Message | Trying to rebate two speeches full of reasoning, content and arguments with an unproved catchy 9-word statement seems like a proper alt-right propaganda strategy. |
