<<Germany expects them all to behave.>> What happens if they don't? BTW how is the unemployment paid out in Germany? Is it under the social or a different pool?

Hi DJ, not to worry, the Germans are in good shape, still ... Message 17627405 <<- Congress is considering legislation that would make it illegal for firms to incorporate in a low-tax environment, such as Bermuda. So much for "free enterprise," eh? Since America is the only country that pursues it's citizens everywhere they go in the world and demands payment of taxes on any income, it seems only a logical extension that the commissars in charge would make it illegal to escape the toxic business environment that they created. The East Germans commissars erected a real wall out of concrete and steel to keep it's citizens captive. The American counterparts erect a wall to merely keep capital and money captive, so as to make it easily taxable and easily confiscated, but lets the citizens roam freely to make more money. So what is the difference between the East German socialist state and the American neo-socialist state? And with Ashcroft and Congress arranging for more and more secret police powers, the parallels become even more eerily similar. But more and more police powers is like the lid that keeps a frog from jumping out of the pot that is slowly starting to boil. - One result of the lack of investment and the deluge of Fed money is that the banks are in no need of money. Thus, they have slashed the rates they pay depositors. Since the Fed has made it easier for banks to get all the money they want just by asking for it through the discount window, what need do they have for deposits anyway, eh? "We don't need no stinking deposits. We're Federal Reserve banks!">> Chugs, Jay
