| Message | If the government operates all banks, then the people's freedom is decreased because their choice is lowered. Besides, it is hard to be exploited by a bank. Those who take out loans they cannot pay are the ones who are in the wrong, not the banks. People are not forced to take out loans, and if they do take out loans, they ought to learn about what they're getting into. |

| Message | During the wall street crash most privately own banks went out of buiness and the peoples money went with them. By nationalising the banking system we ensure thats people wealth and savings are well protected. |

| Message | By having the state own all of the banks, it therefore owns the money of the nation and as thus infringes upon the rights of the people. |

| Message | You seem to forget that the people are the state. |
| Date | 20:21:01, November 17, 2007 CET | From | Partai Komunis Hobrazia | To | Debating the Nationalisation of the nations wealth. |
| Message | No, the people elect the state. We are the state. The people are those who we serve. For us to own all of their money would be like a CEO entrusting his secretary with all of his company's money. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
