| Message | If I business can't survive on its on, why should the tax payers (aka the same people who DECIDED NOT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE) prop it up? If it is a truly VITAL good and services that shouldn't be a problem anyways. |

| Message | In that case the legislation would never need to be used? Even vital services have directors who skip countries with millions in foreign bank accounts, leaving companies to flounder. Far better to have a contingency in place we say, rather than pretending it will never happen. |
