The Issue

Workers all over Promania have gone on a general strike demanding you create a minimum wage to alleviate poverty conditions.

The Debate

Option 1

"We will not accept this exploitation any longer," says Cooper Rikkard, through a megaphone. "Without a minimum wage law in place we're forced to work for a pittance! How can I feed myself and my family if I can't earn enough money? This corrupt government favors a system where the rich get richer at the expense of the working class. No longer! We demand a reasonable minimum wage!"

Option 2

"'Reasonable?' Since when have companies ever been 'reasonable' when it comes to money?" questions Georgina Hamilton, president of the Prommania Socialist Alliance. "The government should increase taxes and guarantee a living wage so everybody, no matter what job they have, can have access to food, water, and other basic needs. If everyone has the money needed to survive then things like the economy should take care of themselves. Stands to reason. But what you should be asking yourself is this: what's more important, individuals or corporations?"

Option 3

"We don't need any of these stupid communistic welfare policies," says Jennifer Bronte, CEO of Promania's largest Gambling company. "Living wages are unworkable! If you make workers expensive then employers are just going to use fewer or lose profits. And as for minimum wage laws, I think it's a detriment to this nation's businesses that we even have to PAY them wages. If slavery was legal, I think we'd find the nation's economy improving somewhat."
