| Message | Would it not, from a capitalist point of view, make sense to help countries grow and develop a strong economy, which would in turn help our country by giving us trade opportunities? |

| Message | Capitalism is about self-reliance and self-help. It is also about charity. Our Secretary of Justice, Lord Taylor, gives massive amounts of money to the third world out of his own back pocket. This sort of thing is much more helpful than government aid, because it goes directly to the people, rather than to their governments. And about trade, the government is to introduce laws to end the protectionism set in place by the socialist governments. This is the other way in which we can help the third world, by ending the silly tariffs and quotas that are in place, giving them an equal chance. |
