Good on those ministers for treating the populace with the respect they deserve.

It's a highly damning of capitalist protectionism that this was ever even a serious proposal. It serves no productive purpose other than to keep competition from succeeding, and thus undermining the entire promoted purpose of capitalism as a form of economical operation. Those behind this are obviously bought politicians, and should be voted out of office.

Protectionism isn't peculiar to capitalism, and to say using it undermines the promoted purpose of capitalism is the exact same thing as when AnCaps cry about antitrust laws. Every capitalist country and almost all communist countries employ regulated capitalism. I get taking exception to this stupid-ass policy, but what you're saying really doesn't convey anything.
