| Message | The Right is Right Party used to take this stance, and have proposed identical bills in the past. However, we are now of the opinion that should the business owner wish to have his business run by a DWC, then the government should not stop them. Quite clearly, the business would fail as DWCs are disastrous, but the government is not here to save businesses. |

| Message | We support. The business would fail, RiR, I thought you were capitalist? |
| Date | 18:03:41, May 01, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Act on Democratic Workers' Councils 2397 |
| Message | The government is here to save jobs. Jobs are created by businesses. Therefore the government has to save businesses too. |

| Message | "The government is here to save jobs." Well, that is where we fundamentally disagree. |
| Date | 22:44:32, May 01, 2007 CET | From | United Forces of Decay | To | Debating the Act on Democratic Workers' Councils 2397 |
| Message | We agree with RiR here. The government is not here to save businesses. |
| Date | 14:17:40, May 02, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democratic Alternative | To | Debating the Act on Democratic Workers' Councils 2397 |
| Message | So, RIR, you think it's alright for people to be unemployed? |
| Date | 00:26:04, May 03, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Act on Democratic Workers' Councils 2397 |
| Message | No, not at all. But the government doesn't need to be there to provide jobs. The free market creates jobs, and if people look for jobs, and use a little self-esteem, they will find them. The government shouldn't be here to wrap them up in cotton wool and make everything better. A little self-realisation, and self-motivation, and everybody would be employed, providing, of course, that minimal welfare was provided. There is a job for everyone in the free market. |
