| Message | Our businesses are failing. We have high unemployment because of this. Our citizens are becoming poor from having to support such a large unemployed population. All of this stems from a weak business sector. There is a simple solution. While Tukarali doesn't have rivers of money to invest in new businesses, overseas investors do. By removing this ridiculous restriction, we can provide a much needed boost to our economy, which will lead to a more prosperous Tukarali in future years. |

| Message | are national companies just located in our nation, or are they owned by the state???? if the former, I support. if the latter, I need a list of all state controlled companies to consider whether this is a wise idea. |

| Message | This bill concerns private companies located in Tukarali. This doesn't concern state owned enterprises, which we would oppose any privatisation of. |

| Message | It does. Sure, there gotta be rules, but why should we forbid foreign investors to invest in Tukarali? Too much protectionism isn't good. |

| Message | Keeping it the way it was was not forbidding foreign investment. |

Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
