| Message | A minimum wage is a vital priority. We need a minimum wage to ensure a basic standard of living, and unions can't always manage to negotiate like that. Besides, should your standard of living be based on what union you're in? |

| Message | We also need rentbooks. |

| Message | Yeah, because as one of the richest nations in the world, we should pay people a pittance and blame them if they can't cope and raise a family. I think we'll vote against this one. |
