| Message | This will be far too expensive the implement, and will result in taxing Saridanians far more than is excusable. |

| Message | Ah, so morality and equality play second fiddle to the capitalist, religious wallet with the CLP, eh? We thought better of you... until now. |

| Message | Saridan is in need of change badly. Education should be a fundamental building block in this procedure. If our citizens are educated, then they can survive much better in the world as well as in making good fianacial decisions. Capitalism is a horrible economic system, but it's the best we've got. Therefore, our citizens should be given the right to a free education so that if they are born into a poor family, they don't have to live the life of a poor man for their entire life. This way, everyone starts out on the same step of the ladder and can work their way up in the world. |
