| Message | You spend all our money on public education and healthcare....but when vital businesses are in trouble, you throw them away?! That means education and healthcare as well you know........your politics are a paradox. -.- |
| Date | 05:49:01, October 07, 2005 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Ending Corporate Welfare |
| Message | No, I support no subsidies, ever. Would you rather that all industry be owned by the state, because that is also acceptable (though barely)? |

| Message | No, by nationalizing the failing company, we would not be giving them money, we would be taking over the company. Throwing out the old management and putting in new. It is not subsidizing them. |

| Message | Nationalisation is in effect state support. Whilst it is preferable to actual subsidies i would rather that we didn't intervene in the market. I a 'vital' company collapses then another one will rise to replace the gap in the market |

| Message | It would hurt the economy if a big business went bust it will also put people into unemployment we must try to stop that. |
