Details

Description[?]:
| My friends and associats, the time has come to embrace a government for good. We need a state that provides for its people or the taxes they pay are wasted. I am passionate in my convictions that the people can determine their own future, this is why we need to rid our private sector of unnecessery regulations. We need to ensure that we provide for the poor and not simply look out for the interests of the rich. If you oppose this you are fascists hell bent on oppressing the people. HAIL THE GLORIOUS REVOLUTION. |

| Message | Article one opposed! This article will stifle the economy! Article 2 we oppose as well as it'll keep people on minimum wage and give them no incentive to move up if we provide for their family. Article 3 We oppose as well since strikes wreck havoc on the economy. Where is the debate on this? Why did you move it to a vote without debate. That is irresponsible. |
