Message | apologies for neglecting to change the title before submitting it for vote. It was intended to read "Foreign Investment Deregulation Act" |
Date | 21:48:01, July 24, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the bill |
Message | When you invest in a given company, the investors (shareholders) must approve such investment. Why should we make the government (another shareholder like any person) any different? |
Date | 21:59:34, July 24, 2008 CET | From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the bill |
Message | because then we encourage the government to stay out of the market. |
Date | 22:29:43, July 24, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the bill |
Message | This bill will not in any way encourage the government to stay out of the market. It will still be the owner of companies and it will still invest in companies. |
Date | 22:32:29, July 24, 2008 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the bill |
Message | Currently the state owns very little in Lodamun. |
Date | 22:47:52, July 24, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the bill |
Message | That is not the point. Please read before you post. |
Date | 23:18:49, July 24, 2008 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the bill |
Message | We were merely pointing out that the state has little opportunity to interfere in the market currently, a point that was raised twice before we spoke. |
Date | 23:54:51, July 24, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the bill |
Message | We never mentioned that fact. The point here is not how much the government currently owns but what rights it has (like any other company shareholder) in case it does own something. |
Date | 05:51:14, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the bill |
Message | By needing government approval before foreign investors are even allowed to put money into a company the government is given more powers than the private stockholders in national companies (And we in the LLP define a national company as one where the government holds 51% or more of the stocks), and this bill will make the government and the private stockholders equal |
Date | 10:41:37, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Democrats | To | Debating the bill |
Message | Liberals, you mentioned that ""This bill will not in any way encourage the government to stay out of the market"", which makes our point valid. |
Date | 20:15:00, July 25, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the bill |
Message | So, LLP, you are saying that the owners should have no power whatsoever. You are clearly in a fantasy world. "Liberals, you mentioned that ""This bill will not in any way encourage the government to stay out of the market"", which makes our point valid." Did you even have a point? |

Message | Must have done, if you commented that "that nots the point". |
