Arbeit Macht Frei

An Italian politician has sparked controversy by using the slogan "work makes you free" in a brochure to promote local job centres.

Tommaso Coletti said he couldn't remember where he read the phrase but it made an immediate impact on him because it told an "immense truth."

I see...Let me tell you another immense truth you ignorant halfwit. That particular phrase was used by another group of people who understood very well the power of slogans except they wrote it "Arbeit Macht Frei".

Ringing any bells?

What better way to motivate the unemployed than by using the slogan that sat atop the gates of the Nazi's most infamous death camp.
