Alarm Rises Over European Bid To Woo U.S. Workers

Submitted by weaver, Oct 30, 2007 18:07

Poor Mr. Hoffman,

The Blue-card would level the playing field for highly-skilled Americans -- provided we are welcome in the E.U.

Microsoft's and Oracle's vandetta against American workers has created a wealth of underemployed technologists (count in the millions) that are dying for the opportunity to punish M$ and Oracle, Cisco etc.

Innovation? I'm not brilliant, but I do have a flair for the obvious and many years in American industry. I have marketable ideas that I've held off the market for years because these ideas might have helped the American oligarchy.

I'd love to go abroad and fight for America from the outside in!
