Message | This takes money away from our citizens! With their taxes funding a system, they didn't see a further depletion in their funds! It was merely extracted from their taxes. |

Message | Axis Mundi coalition people, your voting yes on this bill does not make us want to sign that alliance with you. Just a thought. This is such a step backwards for your people, I hope they riot in every city. |

Message | We thank the LSA for their input, but we do not see how our libertarian stance offends? This bill does no harm - it merely devolves responsibility to local governments, or to individuals. We see it as a progressive, democratic gesture. If the will of the people is that this bill passes, we assume the citizens will not revolt. On the other hand, if the citizens of Likatonia DO 'riot in every city', we will be sure to address their concerns. |
Date | 19:23:42, March 20, 2006 CET | From | Front for State Prosperity | To | Debating the AM AMALAM Reform Bill - New Direction Gimel |
Message | We find that we must vote against this act due to articles 2 and 3. We have misgivings about article 1. We approve of articles 4 and 5. |
