a google translation which I've left exactly as it came out so you can see that it IS possible to speak clearly and precisely, even in Spanish.

Obviously, we were wrong

There is an amazing event that should serve as an example for countries like us. I refer to Ireland and its economic takeoff. Several factors were able to consolidate the country as a vanguard in the world, but one aspect in particular stands out and I'll explain below. In 1987 the Government decided that its priority would be to achieve an agreement with unions and employers to establish a process that will allow forward on the path towards development.

The agreement was reached and it stipulated that the Government was committed to reducing taxes, especially entrepreneurs, who undertook to respect the job and, finally, unions promised to demand lower wage increases in exchange for greater future profits. The rest as they say, is already history and Ireland has become the best country in the world to live according to several highly prestigious international journals.

He dedicated this article to the subject Irish because today is imposed by the Government to employers not consensual measures such as tax reform and mandate on outsourcing, and contract labor for hours, just as certain that before employers imposed his vision to rest of the country. As far as we continue on this sort of ongoing vendetta that does not allow plans for the future based on mechanisms of proven success.

To try to hide the fact that several business groups received prebendas of previous governments is wanting to clog the sun with a finger, almost like today deny the desire for revenge against those seeking power and bring water to their own mill without analysing the long-term consequences of those performances. The solution therefore has not been in these strategies that have become vicious circles.

In Ecuador there are still almost prehistoric visions who oppose globalization simply for opposing, and a misunderstood concept of sovereignty is obsolete since. The real sovereignty is to have citizens able to live better participate in the good that can take advantage of global integration process and limiting the negative aspects, yes it has.

The agreement was crucial in ensuring development Irish government comprising the success of other countries accepted the reduction in taxes and had the leadership to assume this commitment to employers and employees, that despite the initial problems remained in the direction indicated by betting something truly revolutionary: a first world Ireland.

The phrase that serves as a title for this article, a book bag very refreshing to Oppenheimer and said a veteran Irish trade union leader, of those who had objected to the treaty of free trade and economic integration not many years ago. They learned of the error. When we will do us?
