| Message | Workers could also buy shares and assets at the stock exchange if the money is as easy as you say. Or maybe it isn't that easy? |

| Message | IC) Does the SLP believe stock market speculation requires equal physical effort as factory work, or other manual labor. This is what I meant by hard work. Also, many workers have families, and real jobs, and can't spend their time guessing who will get rich next. Abraham Ducksworth |

| Message | Most of the usual traders at stock markets do not have the time either, so they have a broker do it for a commission. Brokers will trade for anybody who gives them the commission so where is your point? Anyway, should we also ban all white collar jobs -including officers, engineers, teachers, scientists and doctors- just because they do not require manual labor? If going back to the middle ages is what the Worker's Socialist Party wants, so be it. Such a shame the middle ages will bring a 30-year life expectancy. Jane López SLP Speaker |

| Message | Teachers, and scientists don't get rich of off the poor. Mrs. Lopez seems to have a tendency of vast misinterpretations, doesn't she? Either she is deliberately twisting my words to make it appear that the WSP (one of the most progressive parties) seeks to devolve our nation into the middle ages; or she is incapable comprehending the clear intention of the WSP to elevate the standards of the workers lives, which have been far too long underappreciated, and neglected.
