| Message | Mr Speaker, regardless of all the anti-capitalist rhetoric spouted by the fascists all day and night, it is undeniable that profit is the important incentive to invest and create jobs in any economy. Profit can only be generated if corporations serve their customers well - the state, in contrast, must not care about quality since they have the taxpayer's purse as an endless source of funds to subsidize and bail out state-run companies regardless how bad they perform. Customer satisfaction can only be guaranteed in a market-based system. Allan Everton MP Member for Magadonia RFR Infrastructure Spokesman |
