| Message | Well, the CWFP is a ardent support of Free Market Capitalism, BUT allowing BOTH the Government and the Private sector produce defense industries and weapons would create COMPETITION thus saving the taxpayers millions of RUT. Remember, the Government--in a democratic society--is just simply a PUBLIC TRUST of the people collectively. In other words, the State's "property" is really the PEOPLE's private property collectively. |
