Description[?]:
| Hugo Vespa-Baldassare, ULD General Secretary, Mr Speaker, Honorable colleagues, We believe that humans are born equal, that they all must work towards achieving their lives, towards a better future for their children. No one deserves anything. Women don't deserve anything just because they're women. Men don't deserve anything just because they're men. Rich people don't deserve anything, poor people don't deserve anything. But everyone deserves one thing; to be given a chance, as we're all human. We present this bill to give everyone exactly that; a chance, a chance to grant themselves a better life. But we believe in hard work, and in personal property. We believe in a just economy. One where those who work hard gain what they deserve, but those that don't; end up with nothing. Get rich or die tryin'. |

| Message | Francesco di Nacosia-Rohan, Leader of LP: "Mr Speaker, I would just ask to Mr Vespa-Baldassare if did he notice the deficit into our budget, over 10 billion of LIS. And is he proposing to cut furthermore taxes? And... Mr Vespa-Baldassare, the rich people obviously doesn't deserve anything, they have already all what they need. It is not the case of poor, which you simply are considering them guilty to be poor. Everybody deserve of a dignitous life, but the free market, as showed for millennia, cannot achieve this, because the natural tendency into a free market is the concentration of the richness. It is a duty of the State to REDISTRIBUTE the richness among ALL the citizens to contrast the economic disparity, to contrast the poverty which is NOT a fault of the poor, but a condition generated by the capitalist tendencies. I call all the other parties which believe in the RIGHT OF A DIGNITOUS LIFE FOR EVERYONE to vote against this infamous bill!" |
