far be it from me to speak out of turn but wouldn't it be logical that making it illegal to kill us during the purge wouldn't matter during the purge, when everything is legal

I just feel like this Purge bill is overshadowing the Thunderdome, Series 7: The Contenders, and Battle Royale bills we should be pushing instead.

I have a compromise bill that would reorganize the country into 13 administrative districts and have an annual televised pageant of children fighting to the death. I think that's a good middle ground between the Purge and Thunderdome proposals.

Wait if all crime is legal does that mean illegals can come take our jobs as long as they come over on Purge Day? I may have to reconsider my vote here.

I realize Nate Silver said there was an 80% chance I'm getting stabbed, but no one in my inner circle says I'm getting stabbed so I think his statistics are skewed and Purge Day will be fine for a jog.

This would disproportionally reward larger districts, possibly cutting out the smaller suppliers such as...all the ones in my district who may or may not have funded my campaign

government contracts imply a contractual obligation to the government, which is unconstitutional and worse than theft and murder

We cannot allow China to get the head-start in developing Purge technology.

This, coincidentally, is also why I oppose raising the minimum wage and carbon taxes.

Honorable Chair, in my district we have one of America's greatest manufacturers. I propose that we amend the bill presently before the body to represent this fact and that we protect all Class 15 and above employees with ED2000 systems.

I yield the remainder of my time back to the Honorable Chair.

You're not looking at the big picture here. When Provision 3A says "all crime is legal" it includes securities fraud, the best crime.
