Following In The Footsteps Of The European
Union
I have previously already written a blog
post what I think about this big government overreach committed by the
European Union.
The German Upper House (Bundesrat) is scheduled to vote
as early as tomorrow (9/21/2012) on this subject. According to news
reports (in German language) it is likely that such a misguided gender
quota will pass.
The bill stipulates a two stage phase in: Beginning in
2018 a 20% quota will apply and beginning in 2023 it has to be at least 40%
women on corporate boards. Why not 100% women?
A Massive Intervention In
Property Rights
& Freedom Of Contract
This example unequivocally shows that democracy and a
constitution or the rule of law are no guarantee that individual freedom and
property rights are protected from big government.
Thank goodness, the USA has not yet followed such dangerous
follies. That is a beacon of hope, but a tiny one given the many follies of the
USA like ObamaCare.
Such nonsense speaks loudly of the miserable quality of
elected representatives in Germany. What is next?
