And also there Harry,,, Doesn't the Kerry Family own Heinz Ketchup? Do
you
know how much offshore labor or non American labor is used for making
that
Product? How come when Kerry was asked about this, he only claimed that
he
has nothing to do with the managing of the firm? He (or his wife) own
the
firm, but have no control over management? He criticizes the president
over
his job migration thing, and Kerry himself takes advantage of lower
income
earning labor.

Tuuk, you have to be fair when it is due. Neither John Kerry nor the
Kerry
family "owns the firm". Kerry had nothing major to do with Heinz before
he
married into it. In fact, his wife had nothing to do with it before SHE
married into it. Heinz is a publicly traded company in which Teresa
Heinz,
by virtue of her first husband's death, is a very major shareholder.

Heinz is an international concern in the truest sense of the word. Some
60%
of their sales are outside of the US. Its only reasonable to locate
production close to markets when possible.

.....especially for food products whose raw materials are highly perishable,
like tomatoes. This logic probably escaped Tuuk, though. :-)
