Kerry's A Fake Re: Not Sending US Jobs Overseas
US Senator John F. Kerry and ads are making a big deal about United States President George W. Bush’s administration shipping jobs overseas. Not American. Not good. Not fair. Not moral. Not to be under the Kerry administration come November’s Democratic win.
So goes the Kerry mantra. So go the Kerry TV commercials. So go the Kerry sound bytes.
But, like so much else about Kerry, it’s a fake call. It doesn’t add up when a person takes the energy to check out the fine print. Kerry is sounding so utterly pious about this overseas job thing that one would conclude Kerry has it as a cemented part of his political conviction.
Not really. At least not when checking out Ms. T. Heinz Kerry’s play in all this. And, as Kerry likes to make it appear, what’s good for the spouse is good for the spouse.
So back to the fine print. Let it be broadcast worldwide that US jobs sent globally would fit in quite conveniently to pocket the stretching of the Kerry wallet. That’s right. But unfortunately that’s not all that well known. And that’s surely one bulge that Kerry doesn’t want to bubble up.
The Heinz Corporation, owned of course by Ms. T. Heinz Kerry, has no less than 57 energy-powered plants that are very much foundationed outside the borders of the United States of America. That’s the fact: 57 plants manufacture Heinz products elsewhere which means that American hands can’t get hold of those plant levers to earn those daily wages.
Heinz has a total of 79 plants spilling out its prized items for sale. Of those, 57 are strategically headquartered in nations other than our own. So, obviously, the question comes to the fore: How many Americans are lost to those jobs in lands beyond the seas?
Here are the countries where other-than-US-citizens collect their Heinz paychecks:
Taipei, Taiwan; Dublin, Ireland; Paris, France; Dovarmenez, France; Lisbon, Portugal; Madrid, Spain; Milan, Italy; Monguzzo, Italy; Athens, Greece; Warsaw, Poland; Pudliszki, Poland; Wodzislaw, Poland; Miedzychod, Poland; Moscow, Russia; Georgievisk, Russia; Cairo, Egypt; Tel Aviv, Israel; Haifa, Israel; Elst, The Netherlands and 6 other plants there; Brussels, Belgium; Dusseldorf, Germany; Seesen, Germany; Turnhout, Belgium; Rovereto, Italy; Chateaurenand, France; North York, Ontario, Canada; Wheatley, Ontario, Canada; Caracas, Venezuela; San Jose, Costa Rica; Johannesburg, South Africa; Gaborone, Botswana; Harare, Zimbabwe; Cheguta, Zimbabwe; Wellington, South Africa; Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; Republic of Singapore; Auckland, New Zealand; Tokyo, Japan; Guangzhov, People's Republic of China; Qingdao, People's Republic of China; Inchon, South Korea; Bangkok, Thailand; Mumbai, India; Jakarta, Indonesia; Surabaya, Indonesia; Manila, Philippines; Wanchai, Hong Kong.
Please, Mr. Kerry, come clean on this one. Don’t give us untruth in campaign advertising. It’s not the presidential thing to do.
