| Message | The state would not take over industries, where entrepeneurship in private hands in most efficient. Basic services like our roads, the post office, housing for the poor and public works would only partially be taken into public hands, so that poor people would even be able to access them. Private companies would still be allowed on all those fields. |

| Message | Financing services which can be done much better by the private sector means a lot of state influence and again, bureaucrats are no entrepreneurs. Besides, your proposal does include taking over certain parts of the private sector’s domain. |
