| Message | "Free-market ensures the competition needed to improve service quality and naturally regulates what's to be considered accessible and affordable prices. Government intermission in such affairs will cause mayhem in the sector and damage this so fruitful branch of our economy. At most, government subsides for low-supply areas would be acceptable. However, we will not support the bill as of now." Marcos Serra, President of the PSDT |

| Random quote: "The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve 'the common good.' It is true that capitalism does, if that catch-phrase has any meaning, but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, that it protects man's survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is justice." - Ayn Rand |
