| Message | You'd better rack up taxes to pay for something as expensive as this! And kiss our economic power goodbye. |

| Message | Our economic power should be used to better the lives of our citizens. Alliance 44 prefers the Scandinavian model, and research proves citizens are ready to pay more taxes for better services. Whining about economic effects of this is a mere hipocracy. |

| Message | I live in Belgium and I see the consequences of our "social" welfare policy. There are more and more people who live from money from the government. I agree that the government should help by subsidising hospitals and paying citizens. But I think that a hospital which is linked to a university is the best solution. And because the universities are "private". I think the hopitals should be private too. |
