| Message | The honorable representative from the Delta Force Party would do well to consult the history of his favorite republic on the planet Earth. Workers' councils, trade unions, and employee-owned businesses were formed and thrived, or failed, without interference from the United States' government. This is a matter that can be handled by the free market and is best left there. |

| Message | Let us explain that the way this legislation specifically DEFINES the word "subsidy" is NOT "government handouts" (i.e. corporate welfare) but rather interest-bearing LOANS (below the Prime Rate) that the Worker Councils are OBLIGATED to pay back to the Federal Government with INTEREST. This is a FREE MARKET bill that would benefit the people via INTEREST payments!!! Thank you for your full support!!! |

| Message | Then how would the tax exemptions be paid back to the people? Nice try DFP. |
