"Breaking news here in Ewharistan, President Silva just signed landmark legislation to limit the wages of top earners. Certain careers such as professional actors and athletes will have a maximum wage enforced and that owners and CEOs will have their income limited as a specific ratio to their lowest payed employees. This radical legislation just passed the General Assembly yesterday with 120 yes votes, with 118 no votes and 2 abstentions. President Silva said that this legislation was "an excellent change to fix the extreme wealth inequality that was pervasive in our nation." We go now to our special politics reporter."

"We have been watching this legislation for the past month, it was first proposed by representative Carmo of The Workers Council, with cosigners in Vanguard and the Christian Liberation Movement. This bill was picked up by members of those parties as well as more progressive members of the Labour Party. However this bill was bogged down in committee for a long time with no comments from party leaders until the Crocus Revolution in the North Sea Federation. Due to our strong connection to their nation this sparked mass left wing sentiment among the people. Speaker Morais and President Silva then took this legislation and began to promote and push it both in public and among assembly members. The entire left wing coalition united behind this and Speaker Morais managed to put pressure on 37 New Age Alliance members to pass the bill as well as 2 others to stay home for the vote. Many unions are praising the bill as an amazing step in the right direction while Opposition Leader Chaves says that this bill is just a "thinly veiled attempt to institute socialistic policies". The one unknown will be how this issues ends up playing with voters. This has been Tadeo Salgado with our special report"
