| Message | Mr. Speaker, Congratulations, this would result in to a 18billion extra debt per annum. What a strong wise decision to put our future generations even more in debt! At least we where responsible for decreasing debt and give hope for our future generations. This is what you get Conservatives, inexperienced politicians of the BC at highest levels. I call this pure theft. Geraldine Humperdinck Finance expert and MP for DR-C |

| Message | Mrs. Humperdick, This is just nonsense. We will abolish your public pension system, costing more than you could ever imagine and decreasing taxes for the population. You do not care about the working class in this country who suffers decades of economic mismanagement by the Democratic Reformists and your socialist policies. Taxes and taxes, that's your track record. Once our budget is passed, we'll have a balanced budget. Steve Elmore, MP. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Do i hear this correctly? The BC will abolish the public pension system? This incompetence grows by the day. The public pension system is just a corner stone of our policy for the workers. We, the government, must provide a decent pension for everyone who couldn't afford one of those private shemes that you like to promote. The BC likes to pretend to be for the working class, but in fact it steals from it and gives it straight in to the hands of the big companies. So let me ask you this, what will you do with the people who are already in this public system and payed taxes towards it? They must starve to death? There is no way that you could cut 18bn of the Empires budget without hurting your electorate. Geraldine Humperdinck Finance expert and MP for DR-C |

| Message | Mrs. Humperdick, We are not stealing from the workers since we are decreasing taxes for EVERYONE and decreasing the sales tax to 2 percent. The public pension system is there only since 7 years. Those who paid taxes for this for the public pension system probably also had a private pension system before that. They will therefore receive the benefits of the private pension system to which they had subscribed before the public system was introduced in 5117. Steve Elmore, MP. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Another fine example of the symplistical thoughts of BC members who are truly unfit for office. A 18billion deficit must be payed by public funds and thus less services for the people who actually needs them. To cut public pensions and public health care is just a brutal attack on the poor of our Empire. You would replace it by " a for-profit " system where CEO's who are only interested in profits and their own bank account then actually care about the patient who needs their treatment and pensioner who needs their pension to survive after their years of service. You are only shifting with numbers you cut taxes but people must pay MORE for their healthcare or pension on the long run because those companies are there only for PROFIT. The Brown Cross are forgetting that they are actually playing with real lives. Geraldine Humperdinck Finance expert and MP for DR-C |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Our reforms will boost economic growth in the long run so that people will actually see an improvement in their living conditions. According to our analysis, private pension systems are much more efficient than a public one. So yes, less money will be spent on bureaucratic waste to be given back to our people. Steve Elmore, MP. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Are these studies done by the same companies who would later profit from it? Well it certainly looks that way. Pensions should be accessible for everyone and shouldn't be provided by for profit companies who want to profit from your old mom's pension pay out and savings. Everyone should have a fair pension to live on. It's shamefull, disgracefull how BC is trying to smooth talk this live changing decision they take within a split second.
