| Message | These policies would disrupt the great strides forward Malivia has made through its history. All our citizens enjoy the right to health and education. In addition our economy permits all forms of businesses while preventing our nation's government from becoming the puppets of large corporations and our citizens being held hostage by such market measures as price fixing, monopolies and ruthless corporate practices. If the market did not have issues such as cost of entry perhaps we could relax our regulations. However a free market is not a fair market for our citizens and thus we could not support such a measure. |
