RE: We need to stop sending American businesses overseas.

For businesses to stop sending manufacturing jobs overseas, they have to be convinced that manufacturing things here is more cost effective than profitable than manufacturing it elsewhere.

That’s just the way things are.

Whatever it is, you’re not going to compete on wages alone. There has to be other components that will attract businesses to manufacture here.

Ownership of their business is a big one, which is not talked about nearly enough.

When you own an American business, you own it. Depending on which state you settle in, your boss can be somewhat meddlesome, but still you own it.

In China and virtually every foreign country, you own 49% and can be booted out at some time.

That day is approaching.

We need our own business base back.

Start by encouraging US businesses with law changes.

Our laws should ENCOURAGE business growth in America. Not chase businesses away.

Other than that, I leave the topic open for discussion, but we are going about it wrong at this point.

Now we really, truly need to get our focus once again on repatriation of US businesses.

I don’t know about strictly manufacturing, but doing business in America (or Canada for that matter) should start carrying a certain advantage for resource industries. What oil company for instance wants to do business in Nigeria for instance? Or anywhere in South America, which is quickly falling to Communism these days? Why take that political risk? We have an opportunity to exploit (more than we already do) the massive resource we have oil shale, and natural gas.
