| Date | 12:55:19, September 27, 2019 CET | From | Socialist Party of the Solentian People | To | Debating the NLP-11 Economic Liberalization Omnibus Bill |
| Message | But what about the people this is going to affect? No minimum wage could destroy the lives of so many families; no tax on corporations would see the economy plummet; employers can destroy lives of workers abuse human right by firing them if they go on strike for their own rights, private health care as well as the other changes will wipe out entire families if they can’t afford it and likely won’t be able to after the changes you made. Your plan is flawed and will destroy this country. Withdraw the bill immediately and rethink all of these changes |

| Message | So what i believe we still have free healthcare, along private one, we have retirement back to 65, a quite compromising number, not too high, not too low, we will vote yes on that bill then, we will also think luxury tax is not needed, we do not need VAT taxes, they hurt anyone, the corporation tax is ok at 25%, the 30% is too high and will make corporations run away, we need economic growth to have more money to spend on welfare and more. The provision for abortion can be compromised in next bill. |
