Awww, this just breaks my heart.

Seems France and Germany are isolated both politically and economically.

"Schroeder warned against ``ruinous'' tax cuts by Eastern European countries at a gathering of foreign reporters in Berlin on May 24."

I'd really like to see an end to that socialist bastard.

He'll get his come 2006.

Schroeder said in March that German companies shifting production to new EU member states are "unpatriotic."

LOL! Schroeder the internationalist suddenly becomes the nationalist. Pretty soon he'll be talking about how the fatherland is being stabbed in the back.

One of the reasons that national sovereignty must be preserved on the international scene [and, for that matter why State sovereignty must be preserved in the U.S.] is the benefit of inter-government competition.

Any country that over-taxes/over-regulates the engine of the economy [i.e. private business], must face the threat of people and companies voting with their feet.

It is no coincidence that those who favor subordinating national sovereignty to supra-national entities are big Lefties. They know very well that the only way that they can implement their high-tax, intrusive policies is if people have no escape because the entire continent has a homogenized political system.

Of course, this is all goint to be moot soon anyway, because Europe is well on its way to being governed under Sharia Law.

Truly, they are f**ked!

And they did it to themselves!.

Giggle...

Right and it is easy enough for either or both to come around, either with a new government or with the same government. All they need do is accept in the modern world that a competitive tax system not complaining about what others are doing is required and that the US is leading the world in the War on Terror and they need to get fully on board.

[LifeTrek]

France and Germany have boxed themselves in and are trying to do the same to the rest of the EU.

This is a clear historical symptom and could easily lead to economic or military action by France and Germany against the rest of the EU and potentially the world. They are repeating their own history.

This would be the last gasps of their dying system and a wild grasp to retain their power. The only way to avoid it is by reform - which their unions won't allow. Their bankruptcy will be very painful for them and very dangerous for the world.

War with france and Germany? Oh, please- bring it on.

[okie01]

All they need do is accept in the modern world that a competitive tax system not complaining about what others are doing is required and that the US is leading the world in the War on Terror and they need to get fully on board.

But, first, the socialist elite would have to do one other thing: Admit they were wrong -- about damn near everything.

And this they will never do.

That will leave the job up to a new government. Coming soon, to a France and Germany near you...

Ping for great justice.

If logic won't win the day, the reality of economics will.
