| Message | Keep in mind this is a very basic income. When the rich have money, they buy golden toilets; When the poor have money they can buy food, they can buy clothes for their children. I ask you is it not just to give this money to those who need it, and buy more essential things. Monica Grey, First Lady of the PSPL |

| Message | All adults not supported by another person shall be guaranteed a very basic subsistence income by the government. It says right here, the goverment funded income doesn't go to the people who need it. Instead it goes to everyone. Completely unrealistic. |

| Message | Those not supported are those who need it. Not everyone. I can't understand your reasoning. |

| Message | This would encourage the poor to remain unemployed indefinitely and lock their poverty and their dependence from government forever. |
