| Message | I think that instead of becoming a pawn of the globalist world market, we become a major force within world markets through our productivity. I think that foreign investors should freely be allowed to invest in our companies so we get more revenue from them and could increase our productivity and be able to afford to provide more jobs to the Jakanian workers. What DSF does not want to see is foriegn investors puppeteering our industries to their whims and taking the lives and well being of the workers in their hands to be thrown away once cheaper labor is discovered elsewhere. |
