| Message | You seem to feel that a lot of things should be held by the government. Presumably, a great deal of the taxpayer's money should be held by the government too, as other people's hard-earned money is "an important resource". The existing regulations protect against monopolies. No further regulation is needed. |

| Message | The people's hard-earned money is an important resource, and it should therefore be spent wisely. Granted, our opinion of wise will likely differ from your's on this issue. We feel the state will be more responsible in it's operation of strategic industry than the private companies. Private companies seek only to profit. If to do that they must provide a substandard service to our nation's citizens, then they will provide a substandard service. The government's primary goal is to ensure the well-being of the citizens of Gaduridos. The government does not need to make a profit. At most, it needs only to regain the funds spent operating the service. Any profit will go into providing better services for the citizens, any loss will be paid for by the citizens' tax. |
