Because power has driven the world since it began. The bigger eat the smaller. It is part of the human animal spirit. Power is the ultimate drug.
This is what Europeans can never understand and why they hold our country in disdain. They have all at one tme or another been ruled by tribal chiefs, kings, emperors and dictators; the U.S. has not.

I wouldn't worry much about this. After you start this kind of law enforcement...then companies get scared and they move...out of Europe. The jobs move too. And so in a town where you had 11 percent unemployment one year...and 19 percent the next...ask why. The government can't force people to manufacture in Europe...so the Ukraine and Russia benifit the most off this deal. After about five years of trying to jump economies...and figuring out why one million jobs moved out of Europe...then everyone will whistle a different tune. The sad part is...you can't bring jobs back once you dismiss the company.
It is simply another example how Greens don't understand the reality of economy. Other than the construction of windmills...there hasn't been any creation of jobs via Green strategy.
