| Message | I wil vote No on this bill: Article 1- I agree that the economy should have compitition but if a power station is publically owned, the proffits will go back to the community, making the community better. Article 2- I would probably agree with this article but a strike is only for low pay or bad working conditions, so there isn't a bad reason to strike. Article 3- Some industries need to be owned by the state like the defense industry so they don't make proffits from war. Article 4- The government should take care of the working poor, their lives are already stressful enough to worry about housing... Article 5- This will make to many railroads in the nation because train stations due want to have their own private railroad system for the compittition. Compittition may be good but in this case it's bad for Lodamun. Article 6- Most industries like big corporations should have DWC's so that workers are getting great pay and working conditions. Most of these industries that have DWC's are ran by the state or publically owned. Smaller businesses or non-major industries aren't ran by DWC's |
