| Message | I think no one should be protected at all, workers or buisnesses, by the government. This kinds of things should be dealt with as a private thing between a company and its workers, without the government interfering in any way. |

| Message | And the workers will win that way? Of course not. If we let them alone, employeers are going to take advantage of them. |
