CCC Press Release
Schmidt-Bennots' Response to Unfounded and Childish Accusations of Prime Minister Martin
Kaliburg, Ananto District
March 2, 4020

Frieda Schmidt-Bennots, leader of the CCC has issued the following statement regarding the emotional and childish statements of Prime Minister Martin on her TV show:

I appreciate and respect Jill Martin's opinion, just as I respect the opinion of every citizen here in Kalistan who lives under our great democracy. What I cannot respect is hiding facts and basic economic principles under crocodile tears and calls for social upheaval on one's TV show. It is unfortunate that Prime Minister Martin does not understand the basics of human liberty and economic liberty. It is embarrassing for our country that we were forced to live under the rule of one party for so long. A party that seems to have a tenuous grasp on the basics of sociology and human interaction. What Jill Martin fails to grasp is that first and foremost, human beings do not hoard their wealth. Especially not the people of Kalistan. We shake our heads in disgust at the presumption by the Prime Minister that our people are not better than the social constructs she has formed in her Socialist fantasy lands. Our people are a truly righteous and giving people, if given the chance.

We believe that Charities that have long lost in donations under the single party state will thrive under our new inheritance law. We believe that citizens will use their wealth to open up businesses that will employ more Kalistanis who have suffered under the oppressive regimes of the past and been unable to find work. We hold steadfast to the belief that wealth is property, and should be protected.

It is not surprising that a corrupt party, still fat and corrupt from its status as the sole party in this nation after numerous election cycles, would feel threatened by the notion that it can no longer enrich its own members by the spoils of the theft it had conducted from its tyrannical inheritance law.

To all of Kalistan, we ask that you continue to cry out for freedom. Freedom from the government demanding that all of your wealth belongs to it. We ask that you demand that you be given the right to donate to the charity of your choice or found the business you hope will employ many of your fellow citizens. Perhaps once your cries for freedom are finally heard by the SPoK, and they remove the earplugs of tyranny that they have worn for so long, then freedom will finally reign in this great nation.
