Message	Everyone should have food, shelter, and clothing, which our current policies ensure, but I am not sure that i agree with mandating TOO much minimum wage. This maybe reduce the efficiency and motivation of the workforce.

Message	Apparently, it's the kind of socialist party that doesn't blind itself to reason. There is a point when the government tries to help people so much that they end up hurting them. I am pleased to see that ANCP and GS arn't going to sacrifice our nation's well-being for their own ideology. And, I think as long as children are protected from working in dangerous and exausting conditions, they should be allowed to experience a taste of the adult world before being emerged in it.

To	Debating the The Market Reform
Message	Socialism, in my opinion, does not work as an economic system. But, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it is a stupid concept. I believe that it has fundamental flaws, and that the only stupid socialists are those who are unwilling to make compromises. SEP has shown the ability to to support a mixed economy (perhaps not as capitalist as I would wish, but whatever). It is through a mixed economy, and only through a mixed economy, that we will find that balance between prosperity and the protection of our people.
