| Message | Then we need to help our free market economy to thrive: not hinder it with red tape. Why should desperate immigrant workers be paid a "minimum wage" when they will practically work for food? |
| Date | 07:31:20, November 22, 2006 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Minimum wage Act |
| Message | This will raise prices on goods, and cost hard working people their jobs so companies are able to meet this "wage". This is wrong for the Empire, and wrong for the people. |
