19-03-2005 • Today almost 100,000 people marched through the streets of Brussels. They came from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands to demonstrate against corporate-sponsored policies based on cuts in social and welfare provision and against the formation of a European superstate. The atmosphere was reminiscent of the enormous demonstrations in Amsterdam on 2nd October, when 300,000 turned out to protest against the Dutch government’s policies. The great majority of the crowd in Brussels was made up of the working population of Europe.

Good news
Thanks to these guys and others, political struggles about Europe is increasingly seen as social struggles, rather than as nationalistic struggles.
These people halp creating a European (at least, a west-European) public opinion, that shares ideas independantly of the national borders. This is grassroots Europe, and this is the kind of push that can make Europe change at last

Grassroots Europe is just another word for the ignorant mob, who knows nothing of anything, and wants to have their say on everything.Originally posted by Spiffor

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

I'm with you and Brussels on this one. Europe is losing jobs like never before and unemployement just keeps going up so something new is required not the same old failed socialist policies. Cutting costs and reducing regulation in order to compete in the global economy is the only anwser yet these people want to bury their heads in the sand while pretending everything is OK. Did that approach work for the Soviets? Europe has big problems (though luckily not as large as the Soviets) and it will be better to act now then to suffer through 10 more years of economic stagnation and job loses.Originally posted by Saras

He will fail miserably competing with our government, gods of corporate tax dumping - hell, even east European countries have higher taxes...Originally posted by Azazel
Good luck!
Your decisions will effect all of us. For example, Schroeder wants to cut corporate tax to 32%? we already hear voices calling to make it 20%
