| Message | The UDRC supports a mixed economy model where the state does not run the economy. Instead, we believe that the role of the state in the economy is not to supplant the private sector, but to regulate and protect all the people of Egelion. The UDRC sees this bill as a weakening of this system, so, we are unable to support this bill. |
