| Message | Pardon me, but this is lunacy. Tariffs are, in a word, evil. They do not encourage economic growth and the only thing they protect are your xenophobic inclinations. |

| Message | Xenophobia! We are a party of international solidarity proponents. We support a tariff because our nation is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in Terra. Our people are being pillaged because of it. |
