| Message | In a country with 200 000 000 inhabitants there is a very small possibility for development of monopoly, especially in agriculture. |

| Message | So you want to tell me that in countries with over 200 million people there are no monopolies/oligopolies? /Lets put aside agriculture because there the issue is less on monopolies but rather on protecting local agriculture. |

| Message | Our local agriculture will be "protected" more, when they will be competitive. Bankruptcy is a normal part of business. Businessmen/women take risk and thus are rewarded with profit. If we will take the risk out of this "equation", then there is no justification for the profit and we should take profit as well. Private initiative will blossom only then, when it will be free to take risks and obliged to take results from the risks. |

| Message | On agriculture - it is too much dependent on whether + we still believe that our own nation should be able to feed itself at any times. We do not want to see otherwise normal farmers get bankrupt and deep in debt just because there was a bad year. |
