| Message | The prosperity of Beluzia is such that we can afford to treat our citizens and ultimately the future of our great nation regardless of their economic standing. |

| Message | The People oppose this bill. Govt. policy works like this: You tax the things you don't like (like burgers and dangerous drugs and whores), and you subsidize the things you do like (nature and babies and guns). Forget any nonsense about "equality", "class conflict", and other commie lies. |

| Message | Shame on the Cigolists. You're beginning to channel Zog. Those who have no need for welfare assistence should not be provided for. The tax money waste alone of the current system is reason enough for a yes vote. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
