President,
I grow increasingly concerned by the day. You must admit that it is common knowledge that unfortunately, the recent economic boon was by no means attributable to you, or anyone else in the government.
We must be responsible for ourselves! I urge you to support my bill, because it employs founding bastions of conservatism! You are one of the most well-respected presidents to ever walk the halls of La Moneda, and I truly need your backing here.
If we are to keep the policies of the status quo, what good was the Republicano platform upon which you ran and won?
Senator Alejandro Ruiz de Escovedo
I disagree sir. The economy boomed because it was freed from the shackles of socialism. My commitment to economic freedom and private property rights gave the industrialists the confidence to expand their businesses. No more did they have to worry about a nationalization of their land or property as they did under the previous government. I am not opposed to your tax cut proposal but i can not support a tariff increase unless it addresses a specific problem. As our industry is booming I see no need to impose it as it is nothing more than a tax increase on the Chilean people.
