| Message | Article 1: We're not sure, that this legislation will help our jobs market - children work is regulated, so there should not be any problems with that; Article 2: We think, that the proposition is good, but we are concerned about losing money and jobs if regulation will pass; Article 3: We agree - if someone have money to buy luxury goods, he probably have money to pay tax too; Article 4: We agree - National Government should decide about it, not local governments. So we agree with Articles 3 and 4, but we need to discuss about Articles 1 and 2 - we don't say that we cannot accept them. Kazio Piwosz, the Leader of Keymon Friends of Beer Party |

| Message | Response to KFBP Article 1: We believe that children should be in schools, not working in the coal mines or cleaning hotel rooms. On a long shot, it is much better for Keymons economy to have well educated children, who grow up to be well educated adults. Article: We will lose even more money, if foreign companies take over Keymonese enterprises. The risk of loosing jobs to lower-wage countries is something that we are fighting against. Of course, foreign money is not a bad thing, and will boost our economy, but foreign control is something that we do not wish to see too much. How would KFBP adjust these articles so, that they could be accepted. (On a side note, KLP would like to discuss about the bill with parties that have slightly more political power than KFBP.) |
