| Message | If the Highazhell Party were any versed in economics, they would realise that this proposal would only raise the cost of phone services; that is, while Rutanians would pay a government approved rate, the services communications companies would provide are inferior to the services they would provide if they were free to negotiate rates with their customers. |
