| Message | PS your bill description is a lie! It will not aid workers it will ensure they are all fired! What wil happen is that if this looks like passing every company will immediately switch all it's labour to monthly ocntracts or leave the nation. Jobs for life is not possible, what happens if a worker steals the salary for the workers? The management cannot even fire him under article 2! We suggest you remove your communist tinted spectacles, breathe in some real world and plug in a brain! |

| Message | We must agree with the Libertarians partially. While we support Article I fully, Article II means that if a union strikes "just for the Hell of it", they can't be fired. We think that, with a good reason, they should be able to fire striking workers (although restricted, so that they cannot just fire striking workers who strike for health care or some other thing). Also, there really is no problem with foreigners owning parts of our companies, at least not that we see. Our only problem would be if a foreign GOC controlled our corporations. |

| Message | We can support article I. However, the second two articles are unacceptible. We believe in buisness regulation, but we also believe in free trade. |

| Message | Cannot support any of these: Article I - nearly all farmers are low income so in actual fact you are going to be bailing them all out. You're already giving them piles of benefits, why give them more? Article II - is just plain ridiculous. How is anybody meant to run a business if they are striking every 2 minutes? Article III - Ha!! |

| Message | we cannot support article 1. taxes should be used to fund essential services and not to redistribute incomes. direct welfare payments should not be used to save failing businesses and paying people for activities the community does not need, but to fight poverty by giving people equal chance to contribute to the wealth of the society (like funding education, health, etc.). we give articles 2 and 3 nothing but a laugh. |
