| Message | Mr Speaker, I'd like to remind the Right Honourable Representative of the Capitalist Working Families that this is what true socialisation is, and that by supporting this bill, they also support pushing this country in a socialist direction and strengthening the social, co-operative base in Rutanian economics. The Alliance will of course also support this bill, and are happy to see that even the most staunch capitalists have some respect for basic human rights and needs - as represented by socialism. - Elizabeth Black, Alliance MP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The UPR questions the CWF's stance as a supporter of Capitalism. The fact they support a socialist bill such as this is telling. James McCann UPR Congressional Leader |

| Message | It is a well known fact that the FATHER of Capitalism, Adam Smith, enthuisastically endorsed unions in this book "Wealth of Nations." Also, Unions were endorsed by the Late Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) in his book "The Conscience of a Conservative." |
