We need to adjust taxation to equalize the field.
I did not want to become an advocate for increased taxation or any other plan, but we are running out of time so I’ll go ahead and take that position. I am willing to look at any plan however, with the important priviso we must start looking at plans to bring back American manufacturing big, and quickly.
Currently we are hollowing our manufacturing base in America more every single day. Constantly. We are sending ever more manufacturing to China.
At first it was just another option, but it has become an unhealthy obsession. We have sold off ever more production and we seem to have no limit to what we will sell off.
Already now China is the world’s largest exporter. Has now been so for a couple years.
We must stop this. Seriously it must stop, or we are going to simply vanish.
I believe we have overdone the system to the extreme.
We need to enact taxation on imports. Or some other plan. To encourage American businesses to do things here. And we need to do this right now.
We are currently heading for disaster, the way we are doing things.
No way around it. We must change.
Soon
Oh stop it Cringing. Anyone who's read your posts going far enough back knows you want like 100% tariffs on imports. You don't like or want competition. Period.

Why do more and more manufacturing job move into right-to-work states? Your dire scenario of a loss of nearly all manufacturing jobs in the US is not an accurate picture of what is going on. How about instead of more taxation, we lower the cost of doing business? We cut taxes and reduce regulation for starters? How about we work to roll back the power and influence of labor unions that, at this point, do nothing more than add a layer of bureaucracy and hand over money to leftist politicians?
Why do you hate competition so much? It almost seems like, in your heart, you don't believe America can compete. So instead of doing the things we can do as nation to become as business friendly as possible, you want to shut the doors and prevent consumers from making their own choices.
Cringing you post this same argument over and over and over, and it's like you're not reading any of the replies. Did you read Viennacon posted to you? Do you read all the other comments people make to your endlessly repeated posts to "bring back American jobs"? Do you not realize that your arguments are really no different than far leftists like Bernie Sanders and Ed Schultz? Maybe instead of posting the same thing over and over and over again like some kind of pro-union marketing outfit, stop and think about some of the responses you are getting? I know your heart is in the right place and that you really believe the things you say, but maybe stop and listen to what other folks are telling you.
From what I am hearing, manufacturing is starting to return to the US. But it’s due to robots, they won’t be bringing jobs back with them. But at least things will be made here and taxes paid.
Lack of jobs, especially good jobs is one of our biggest problems and no one seems to be stepping up to the plate.
