| Message | Though I am not keen on encroachments of the state into functioning markets, this is one area where the invisible hand is often seen lacking. Furthermore, carefully designed investments in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological fields would be beneficial to the nation's scientific base. This shift in emphasis is acceptable. |

| Message | Raise taxes on the so called *rich* all you want, but as long as corporate capitalism remains the name of the game, the working class will pay for it; since the working class is employed by the rich. |
