Date | 03:55:31, July 10, 2008 CET | From | Progressive Patriot's Party | To | Debating the Tarrifs on Imports Act |
Message | True independence comes only when economic independence is achieved. Economic independence is possible only when the nation bows down to no master, and its home industries have risen to be stronger, larger, and more powerful than that of the world's. The Progressive Patriot Party advocates any and all measures to protect domestic markets from foriegn imperialistic forces, and insuring the true independence of all peoples within our borders. |

Message | We welcome the Progressive Patriot Party as a fellow party that places the domestic interests of Dranland above all else, and strives only for the best for our country and party. The PPP are more than welcome here. We agree with their statements - economic independance is a large element of sovereignity and autonomy. Free trade weakens our sovereignity and consequently increases our economic co-dependance on other countries. A nation that does not have authority over imports is a nation that is no longer independant at all, but has sacraficed jobs and domestic industries in the pursuit of abstract economic ideals. We value sovereignity and national autonomy, and we wish to protect our domestic job markets and industries from vulture capitalism abroad. In order to ensure all of these things, there must be limitations on trade, as proposed here. We thank the PPP for their support. |
