| Message | Why are they natural monopolies? All of them are services that both government and companies can offer, the only difference is that when it is a monopoly there is no option for citizens they have to stick with what the government offers. To privatize services is to offer more options for the people and make economy grow in the country, it will give more people jobs and will generate more capital, its basic economics. Another question is why should the government have the right to seize private property? We from the government are also human beings, we have to respect peoples right to private property, we cant take what is from them for us, this is robbery plain and simple. The fellow parliament members have to stop thinking they are gods and can control peoples lives, making them have no right over their own property and making them use government offered services. If this bill passes we are cutting peoples freedom and enslaving them even more. |
