Voting deadline: January 2187
Description[?]:
| "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Even 50 years ago, American President Dwight D. Eisenhower predicted the rise of the Industrial-Military Complex. This industry includes any corporation or company that produces any equipment of war. The Industrial-Military Complex generate profits through war, and it is our job as the government to prevent a profit-driven corporation from gaining power over the sacred and dangerous right to wage war. I propose that all Defence Industry in Quanzari be owned by the state. Please contribute to this debate because this is a very important topic. |

| Message | i support a mixed economy. This bill tilts us too far towards socialism. What is wrong with the current bill? It keeps both the private and public sectors happy. |

| Message | I think that ONLY a body elected by the people should be able to have any direct influence on warfare. Giving the private sector control over the weapons industry would not be wise, in my opinion. |
