| Message | Article 1: This would allow advertising for recreational drugs, smoking, alchohol, prostitution, etc. Article 2: This lowers corporate taxes at the expense of raising essential taxes (article 4). This doesn't seem like a fair trade. After all if the people have more money they can buy more product from Corporations and the corporations can still benefit. Article 3: How can you have a monumentally crucial industry be run privately without special regulations? These are special conditions and require special regulations. Article 4: This will hurt the people. Also, see Article 3. Article 5: Yes, but I'd like local governments to regulate the ability for them to be used at all. Some populations may not want the sound of explosives outside their windows, and some may not want the risk of explosives causing fires in their neighborhoods. Article 6: Contrary to your Utopian view on healthy casinos, these need to be somehow regulated as to protect against casinos cheating their customers and to prevent too many casinos from opening in specific localities. Remember, gambling can become an addiction. Article 7: This is another crucial industry to the well-being of our people and the Kanjoran government itself. We cannot allow such an important field to go completely unchecked. |
