| Message | This is no where close to being vital. In fact, this would cripple the economy as things would be run by the state and not by the individuals that actually drive the economy. Things will become stagnant and there will be high unemployment. This is an abominition to the whole economic system. |

| Message | You call this vital economic reforms? These are not reforms ONCP. Not everything should be runned by the state. In fact, there should be little state influence except where necessary. |

| Message | Energy companies and alike, will be controlled by an "industry director", responsible for its day to day running. the appointment shall be made and the Great Chieftain for each industry brought under state control. Industried like energy are very profitable. we feel that such profits could be used to benefit the public. Each industry would be run by a state owned company that has it within its power to allow for a small number of its shares(25%) to be placed on the stock market . The industry director would have to of had experience in industry and would be paid large bonuses for high profits ontop of a large wage in order to entise the best directors to the job. the workers would each receive say 0.00001% of profits go to individual workers as well as a decent living wage as well as bonus brackets. |
