No Jobs for U.S. workers declares Bill Johnson, CEO at Heinz, on Wall Street Journal Report last Saturday
Last Saturday, the CEO of Heinz, best known for ketchup production, told Maria Bartiromo that Heinz will not be hiring Americans this year.
The reason he gave was the ‘uncertainty’ produced by the ‘inability’ of the government to decide on really important things such as the tax rate his business will pay. He announced at the same time on the same program that Heinz will be opening facilities and hiring in other countries, and concentrated on China where they make soy sauce.

o.k. no more heinz in this household... also going on my sharing list of e-mails...
I was under the impression that the tax cuts that are expiring are for personal income taxes and not corporate taxes. So how would that affect the tax rates his business will pay?
Has he informed John Kerry of his conclusions?
Boycott Heinz products.
Kerry you $#%^&*! you too Teresa *&^#$@!
Obama’s head of USAID set up a program to train Indonesians and Armenians to compete for off-shored jobs with India (which used to be American jobs):

When Zero can’t make solid decisions on his communist agenda, it is nearly impossible for a U.S. company to plan for improvements, expansion, and hiring.
Heinz is leaving to other countries that don’t jerk their companies around and don’t assume that they are nothing but a pot-o’-money to dip into at any time.
There were FReepers using Heinz products after 2004??
Teresa needs to put all those little naked brown children to work in her factories. Do I really need the /s?
Heinz has been on my “not in this house” list for a few years now.
I’ve been boycotting Heinz products for years and years because of how much I am disgusted by John Kerry, his wife is the Heinz heiress.
And that’s tough to do because many products are Heinz but do not bear that name.
Some of the newbe maybe, but never hurts to remind folks and to spread the word outside FR.
Yes.
If you think pure logic, why would you want to do business in the unsure economy of the USA, where regulations are becoming far thicker than freedom, and taxes eat into your prosperity?
I haven’t bought a Heinz product since I figured out Teresa was part of the deal.
I’ve refused to buy Heinz products since the day I learned that the original Heinz owner(can’t remember his name) Left his wealth to Theresa who married the communist love John Kerry.
They produce good products but not good enough for me to sacrifice my principles!
Exactly.
Yep, good comment Yaelle.
Teresa Heiz Kerry, the heiress, as in SENATOR John Kerry’s wife.....PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANY HEINZ PRODUCTS.
-——If you think pure logic-—
Whoops!! think?
Impossible when your brain is controlled by a knee jerk triggered by irrational fears based on pure emotion
Heinz=Kerry=bad=must be antiAmerican
Any statement mentioning Heinz and China triggers the knee jerk. The fact that growth in America is not presently possible is irrelevant and beyond comprehension of a knee jerked mind
