BLAMING VICTIMS:
Schröder Calls on Companies to Create Jobs In Germany (RICHARD BERNSTEIN, 3/28/05, NY Times)
Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, in comments published Sunday, calls on German companies to stop moving jobs and factories outside of the country in search of cheaper labor and lower taxes and to invest in Germany to provide badly needed employment here.Speaking a bit more than a week since he proposed a cut in corporate taxes, Mr. Schröder contended that the package of economic changes made under his leadership in the past couple of years had led to a renewal of German competitiveness.
"Conditions are right," he said in an interview published in the newspaper Bild am Sonntag. "Therefore, the constant talk of moving production and jobs should stop, and there should be investment in Germany."
If conditions were right they'd stay. Posted by Orrin Judd at March 28, 2005 8:15 AM
This is a rip. Do these guys realize how foolish they are by trying, like Stalin, to build socialism in one country? Quick, equip them with pig bladders and oversized shoes, the carnival of the inanities begins!
