| Message | We are not entirely sure what a Democratic Workers' Council is, and we are therefore frightened by the idea and wish for this nation to cease supporting such new concepts. |

| Message | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers'_councils They appear to be rather similar to labor unions, but more powerful. We definitely do not need to subsidizing these groups! |

| Message | It is within another business, that is owned by another party, not the workers. Essentially, it is taking control of the management of the company, without being the owner. We think. Co-ops are when the management, workers and owners are all the same group. DWCs are when the workers and management are the same, but the owners are different. If we understand this correctly, we still support this bill. We should not be subsidizing the creation of these groups. |
