ToDebating the National Industry Bill
MessageThis bill is nonsensical. If a business is going bankrupt it is because it is not operating correctly. It is either inefficiently organized, or insuffiently aware of the demands of its market. If a business goes bankrupt through this sort of inefficiency then its competitors absorb its marketshare. This in turn would require the expansion of the competitors and the need for more employees experienced in the field. Many times the competitors will aquire a weakened business outright forestalling the need for large scale 'lay-offs'.

Furhtermore unseen events will occur. First, the steady accumluation of nationalized businesses will place a growing burden on the state and hence the taxpayer, the very persons this bill claims to help. Secondly it will forstall investors who fear that if they attempt to turn around an ailing business that they might lose that investment through the process of nationalization. This would only insure the acceleration of bankruptcies.

Businesses will begin to see bankruptcy as a way to encourage a government bailout, removing a vital motive for efficiency and hence lower consumer prices. Banks will also lend more freely pushing inflation, the kind that effects those least able to borrow the most.

MessageYou should know, the Workers Council part is void, Jakania is already in an international agreement to allow the formation of such.

And quite frankly, it'd be unfair to just exempt tax's from them. People would only join the councils to get the exemptions, and not join them for the real reason we are looking for, because they're interested.
