From Freeper PB:

Have you recently looked at the label of a jar of Heinz sandwich slice pickles. Yep...."Made in Mexico"

Check some of your Heinz products. Sen. John Kerry keeps talking about U.S. corporations leaving this country and setting up shop in foreign countries, taking 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 Kerrys 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 Caribbean. I wonder how many hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when these plants relocated in 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're making millions off that cheap labor.

Hey! If I can get by without a Toyota I can exist without a Heinze pickle.

Thanks for the heads up. I wouldn't buy anything from Heinz but MOST importantly I won't buy anything from Mexico. 'Remember those green onions in Pennsylvania that killed 3 or 4 people'? It's a filthy place, not condusive to bottling pickles or anything else.

I make a concerted effort not to purchase products:

"Made in China" or connected with Chinese Investors
"Made in France" or connected with French investors
Anything related to Heinz and Mrs. JF Kerry
