So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated

-
43.2% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.2% Against. I want to deal with people.
