Description[?]:
| Dear legislators, While we do believe in a moderate welfare state, this is not to thwart the ideals of a people standing on their own legs as much as possible. To generous grants may prevent people from seeking work. We also believe that a regulated labour market, with negotiations about the conditions for the workers at the local level, is the best way to ensure a stable and harmonious society. |
