Just saying.
America is currently running a 342 billion dollar/year trade deficit with China.
That grows every year.
Our economy is a mess. Bring back American jobs.
Get our government out of our way, and spend less money, and the jobs will come back on their own without someone like you yammering about raising our taxes to bring them back.
I think there is something else at work here.
I often see you make similar comments on the board. I was just curious if you had any insight into: (1) which jobs you are referring; (2) how much workers would be paid per hour here in the US; and would the company providing those jobs be able to turn a profit?
It seems easy to simply clamor for more jobs, but if the conditions created by our over-regulating and over-taxing government do not create an environment in which a company can make a profit, investors (i.e. entrepreneurs) will simply invest their hard earned money elsewhere.
As far as existing companies, it is not smart business to manufacture certain goods here in the US and ship them overseas. Therefore, a US company will set up shop overseas, in order to be competitive, and still make a profit. For example, making Budweiser beer here in the states and shipping it to overseas markets is simply not profitable, so Anheuser-Busch built a plants in the UK (I believe they operate 3 plants). Even in the US, they have 12 plants to regionalize their distribution.
Again, just curious to see what jobs currently being done overseas are really candidates to be "brought back".
Just saying.
Eliminate unions, red tape, and corporate taxes, and watch employment skyrocket.
