here's something to think about.

 

An interesting sidelight on the election campaign.

Look at the label of a jar of Heinz sandwich slice pickles.
Yep...."Made in Mexico". Check out some of your Heinz products.
Sen. John Kerry keeps talking about U.S. corporations leaving this
country and setting up shop in foreign countries, takin thousands of
jobs with them. He is right, because that has happened. However, he is
trying to blame it on George W. Bush.
As far as I know, Bush has not moved one factory out of this country
because he is not the owner of a single factory.
That cannot be said about Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Kerry's own 32 factories
in Europe and 18 in Asia and the Pacific. In addition, their company,
the
Heinz Company, leases four factories in Europe and four in Asia.
Also, they own 27 factories in North America, some of which are in
Mexico
and the Caribb.  I wonder how many hundreds of American workers lost
their jobs when  these plants relocated to foreign countries.   I also
wonder if   the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the same wages and
benefits as
workers in the United States. Of course they're not. However, Kerry
demands that other companies that relocate should pay the same
benefits
they   did in the U.S. Why does he not demand this of the Heinz
Company, since
 he  is married to the owner?  If Kerry is elected, will he and his
wife close
all those  foreign factories and bring all those jobs back to America?
Of course
 they  won't. They 'll continue making millions off that cheap labor.
 
 If you can read this, thank a  teacher.
If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

Bush may not have moved any company he owned out of the country (oil drilling and baseball teams don't come together well in Mexico I guess), but some of those big tax cuts he's been touting are ones specifically for companies that are moving branches of their operations out of the country. I'm not saying that Kerry and his wife's family are innocent, I'd say anyone in the upper levels of big business is going to be guilty because they're there to make a profit not to look out for american jobs. But don't place blame on one side without looking at the other.

i'm not placing blame anywhere or on anyone. this was just an email i got this morning. it was the only one that didnt have pics of nude women so it was pretty eye catching. anyway, being a small business man, i like to see jobs stay here in our country. the tax dollars businesses generate go to support our country. and believe me we pay a lot.

Kerry has a good objective in creating more jobs and better work conditions/pay, and even if it didn't effect the Hienz company, it would be good for the economy.

I am blaming this on Bush and his adminstration too.

Bush's company (oil) went bankrupt, BTW. He couldn't find any oil in the land that he bought.

That's because he'd rather drill it out of nature preserves and send his Halliburton buddies to get it in Iraq.
