| Message | As we said earlier, we are opposed to this- it limits the ability of our Country to protect itself against being forced into a dependent relationship with other more wealthy and powerful nations. Suppose, for example, Lodamun decided that they should buy up an entire sector of our economy, which we would otherwise export for the benefit of the people. We would be at the mercy of Lodamun investment who could pillage our natural resources, expatriate all profits and then leave our country bone dry, without doing a single thing for Mordusian people. We are opposed. |

| Message | This Bill opens our country to a host of malicious investment strategies promoted by other countries designed to drive our economy into the ground and restore our economic dependency on larger states. It is only our hope that the Government has some plan to rescue the economy when greedy capitalists sweep in to take advantage of the wrongheaded, dependency-driven economic policies of this particular Government, written out of blind obedience to hard liberal economic ideology. |
