Q&A Strathae
#4
What is your plans for the economy. Do you support clan co-operatives or a more business led economy? Sé Flanagon McLucais
Blair Gobnet McLucais:While I applaud the clan co-operatives and worker co-operatives an economy cannot run on these alone. The fact is we need balance and indeed economies are built on small and medium enterprise family owned businesses or independent traders. I do believe the CSP's plans are economic suicide. They do not want you to have the oppurtunity to own your own business, they want to penalise you if you happen to work hard and become rich and they are a threat to jobs by punishing big corporations. Big corporations are not the enemy and are indeed vital to the country. Our party will fight for you but will also fight for the right to prosper from ones own work and also fight to get more jobs into the country by encouraging foreign investment. We need a mixed economy not an ideologically run one.

Éimhear Dearbháil Scott: Dare I say it , but Blair does raise some good points. We do not need to punish big companies domestic or foreign but we need to recognise the threat they can pose based on economy of scale. That is why our government would propose lower tax rates for small businesses and co-operatives. We would support domestic business and social enterprises. We need a mix but the economy should be run for the people not just for corporate profit. The economy should be run to protect the environment not just profits. Simply put we are not ideologically pro-business like PoT or ideologically supporting of co-operatives. We need a good mix and ultimately the people should decide what economy they want.

Sadhbh Aisling Seòras:My two opponents here are just simply wrong to suggest we wish to punish big business but for too long now big business has got away with far too much. The rich -poor divide is still too great and there is still way too much focus on profits. Profits are often above 3%. This is not good, this means wages could be raised and benefit the workers but CEO's greed prevents that. We propose 3 pillars, 1: support of clan-co-operatives and co-operatives 2:Support of social enterprises and 3: Pay caps of 25 times the lowest worker. These are not outrageous, they only affect the richest and why does one need to be a millionaire. Thats just greed. Furthermore we must fight for the 55% tax bracket to remain or even raise it 60% . We must fight to reraise corporation taxes to pay for public services and we must nationallise transport , energy utilities and water by force if the companies don't want to sell for a fair price. In short we need radical change in our economy, an economy run for the people not for millionaires.
