| Message | The Government should not give special treatment to any organization "Dmeocratic Workers Councils" by giving them taxpayer dollars and tax exemptions so they can make even higher profits. The private sector always fills the needs of goods and services. |

| Message | I dont see how encouraging democratic principles in work to be a bad thing, as most businesses just put in money hungry bastards as chairmen and on the board of directors. this way can allow for a better structure and allow for hard working individuals to move up in the business |

| Message | And if you do not want to join the DWC, it can be used to discrimate against people by not hiring someone or promoting them because they are not members, and if you are member you get special treatment. |

| Message | Why should the Government subsidies them and give them tax breaks, it is an unfair advantage. Having DWC is fine but they should be member funded through dues not taxpayer funded. |
