Craig Read Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Quote from a speech Brown gave recently - he is right - bascially he wants US styled tax, labor and regulatory reforms within Europe. "First, Europe -- both within the euro area and outside it -- must reject old models that failed and embrace labor market flexibility combined with policies that equip people with the skills they need for work. Because just 5% of Americans out of work experience unemployment for more than a year -- in contrast to 50% of Germany's, 30% per cent in France, and 60% in Italy -- we should reject any new directives that damage employment and growth. No proposal should be agreed which puts at risk our ability to create jobs and meet the targets the EU set for itself at Lisbon three years ago. And Europe should look at new incentives to make work pay, such as the U.S.'s earned income tax credit. In the U.K., our pre-budget report later this year will outline the next steps we intend to take to get more people into work." Hear hear! Will it happen ? Hell no. Not with the Frogs and Nazi's running Europe. Heil Chirac ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
