| Message | "The railroads, public utilities, canals, and forests should be nationalized, and all income from the land and mines should be in the hands of the State. With this money in hand, the State can therefore finance the social welfare programs". "Planning and market forces are not the essential difference between socialism and capitalism A planned economy is not the definition of socialism, because there is planning under capitalism. Should we be concerned with deviations from the right, but above all, we should be concerned with deviations of the left." |

All the others are for us too many statalist and against our liberal economic positions. Above all, we were very surprised to see SEL propose the first article. The government have to intervene based on market demand? And if a farmer find difficulties to sell his products? If a farmer produces crops typologies that no have a great market demand? Our farmers have already the freedom to follow the market demand. Thank you." |
