"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Government Protects Union Members Through Tariffs.
Maurice Taylor, chief executive of Titan, years ago earned the nickname the Grizz, standing for grizzly. He is a no-nonsense corporate executive. The French government had asked Titan to invest in a tire production plant in northern France. It has been producing losses. Taylor's response is classic. "I have visited that factory a couple of times. The French workforce gets paid high wages but only works three hours. They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three. I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way!"
