Where’s my bread? I’ve worked my whole life for our cause. Backbreaking labor making machines so we could have a self-sustaining economy, and do I get what I am due? My pension, promised to me from the government for my long years of service, was what I was given. It was a meager amount of cash. So, being a patriot, I gave the money back to our government so they could further our cause. In return, they promised to keep me clothed and fed into the future. It was the bare minimum, but I was willing. They also said sweet things, like that they’d “be forever in my debt.” Now that I’m hungry and I need their aid more than ever, they turn their back on me. All I have left is enough money for 3 loaves of bread. The vile scumbag Mordon Genette passed a law that limits how much I can be given. Three loaves. What a slap in the face. That’s nowhere near enough for a single mother and her two children. We are left with nothing.
The same thing has happened to friends and acquaintances of mine. These people put their hearts and souls into building this nation, even before the nation was conceived. They gave up everything for the cause. In return, their nation has turned its back on them. Our government has abandoned those to whom it owes its success. We gave our blood sweat and tears for this thriving nation. Our government should listen to Fredrick Jarte, it’s one good member.
Some members of the community want it all to go to waste. They want us to rejoin the Eastern Empire and abandon what we have worked so hard create We shouldn’t listen to that terrible paper now run by Hugo O’Donohue. The People’s Advocate would bring ruin upon Vision and cause what we have worked for these long years go to waste. The Government needs to stop propping up its wealthy patrons and help those who gave all that they were so it could rise.
