| Message | Mr speaker We fear that if we nationalize failing industries then in times of recession and depression, the government will control nearly all of the industries as many of them are falling making us, a socialist country which we do not stand for. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Socialism is ONLY when the government confiscates land and property from the private market. We will sell the companies BACK to the PRIVATE market once there is a profit that can be made. We yield. |

| Message | Mr speaker it doesn't say that it will be sold back to the people. Therefore, it's an excuse for the government to nationalize industries and control it. |
