| Message | 1)The people have to be sure about their safety of money which private companies could not do.So government banks should have the priority 2)Age 21 is too late.Because after colleges and pre-degrees a person is considered as adult(Given adult age is 16), which means he has attained an ability to do work and have wage by his own 3)Energy production should not be in the hands of private companies.It cannot guarantee safety. 4)Investment of foreign investors might help them to control our companies which could directly result our weakening of economy 5)Gambling is a great loss for the national income of a country.Gambling is bad and indiscipline 6)releasing industries freely is very bad.Because it would bring back the bad effects of industrial revolution back to the nation.Industries which influence more in our economy has to be brought under the control of a nation 7)We cannot guarantee the network services that is private companies are providing.Which may happens to form terrorist and other ideas which could harm the nation's safety 8)Luxury items have to be maintained.Otherwise nation would face high economic depression 9)People who do bad activities and gain money by that.It is bad for the economy and welfare of the nation 10)The religious terrorism is spreading through out the nation.We don't need a fanatic highly terrorist citizens(The influence of caliphast should be considered too) 11)Stock exchanges should be regulated.Unregulated stock exchanges are nightmare for a country |
