| Message | Mr Spreker, Actively breaking up monopolies that companies worked hard for years to achieve is simply theft, pseudo-socialist theft which ultimately lowers everyone's standard of living. Moreover, it will highly discourage young people from creating new businesses as it limits their area of expansion significantly. Punishing businesses for thriving and expanding by breaking them apart, not only leads to lack of new businesses and a significant rise of the unemployment rate, but also to an ultimate economic collapse which is imminent if this bill passes. A party made out of peasants and workers might not know this, but smaller businesses are really fragile and can fall into bankrupcy very, very quickly. Moreover, the main goal of the PUAU seems to be to lower everyone's income and standard of living by instituting socialist economic policies which were proven to have catastrophic consequences by the history. PUAU is nothing more than a socialist farmers' party with no understanding of economics and the free market system. We say NO to farmers' socialist theft policies!!

| Message | Mr Spreker, Monopolies are not good for the economy. Competition drives success, drives up wages, drives down prices, and lifts the economy. By the way, you are damn right we are a party of "peasants and workers". Peasants is derogatory word that only stuck up, ignorant, out of touch politicians like Lotte Van Althuis would use in this context. The SPN has truly solidified itself as a party so entirely out of touch with the populace. It is disgraceful because this was not always the case. Our party cares about the common farmer and urban worker, your party cares about corporations. We are not socialist, we believe in a free, but regulated, market. We do not believe that the rich should give to the poor, we simply protect the poor from abuse, and try to extend to them the opportunity to earn wealth. The true ideological difference between our party's is this. The SPN supports corporate capitalism, while the PUAU supports working class capitalism. We say NO to a party of stuck up politicians who frequently have their pockets filled by the money of corporations, that seek to put into place a government that permits them to abuse laborers. I think that Klaus Van Der Linden just turned in his grave after hearing the moronic comments that just spewed out of the entitled and stuck up brat's mouth. He must hate that she has led his once honorable party, straight into the ground. Thomas Van Locklan Kanselier |
