Referendum 001 Passed
Due to the increasing levels of Poverty in Musica, a referendum has been resolved. The MusicBanter Congress/Parliament has decided to increase welfare programs to support the growing underclass in the country's inner-city slums.
Many are overjoyed for this new turn. The National Association for Social Justice and the International Workers Front, two very influential leftist organizations, have spoken in great support of Musica's new policy. Although forseeable results are hard to demarcate in such a short amount of time, analysts and social scientists are touting the potential benefits of these groundbreaking new programs. As for the top 10% of the tax bracket; murmors of revolution are spreading among the CEO's and wall-street stock-brokers. The Upper-Middle class aren't too happy either, seeing as a large liberterian rally in the country's second-largest city drew 14,000 yuppies and white-collar day-jobbers to hysterical protest last week. The McCarthy Fund for the Extermination of Pinkos and Other Radical Lefties recieved nearly 8 million dollars in donations yesterday, which is the highest revenue the nonprofit has generated since the early 1960's. A notable pundit stated yesterday that "we may have inadvertantly instigated another revolution in our attempt to quell one that was in the making". Of course, most just regard this as "conservative reactionary bull****", but only time will tell what comes of these radical and tenacious attempts to stamp out poverty in Musica.
