I chose to focus on people out of work.
We have a problem there. I’m not convinced very job went off-shore simply to keep the business alive. In many instances they were moved off short to make larger profits for the owner.
Look, I’m sympathetic to that up to a point, but as stated before, we can’t eliminate every job in the U. S. based on bigger profits.
Yes, taxation needs to be addressed. So does government red tape, regulations, onerous EPA, and global warming nonsense.
IMO taxation on one big business, does not equal the taxation of all it’s employees. Hell, let businesses bypass taxes. Create jobs. There’s your tax base.
If it’s a small business, which most are, I’d like to see vastly reduced taxes. Free up money for expansion, better employee benefits, and increased productivity.
The more people working, the more widgets will be sold in the U. S. We have broken down the natural work and purchase relationship in the U. S.
We let the Chinese work, and expect our citizens to purchase with no income.
There is no “we” in business or job creation unless you ask the government to do your bidding. So when you say “we” I assume you wish the government to get involved once we get to your point of no longer being “sympathetic to that (’make larger profits for the owner’) up to a point”.
So at what point does your concern for jobs cause you to have the Federal US Government by force of arms limit, reduce, or confiscate profits from an owner of a business in order to create more jobs.
I’m not sure exactly which world allows you to make less profit and add more jobs, China maybe?
You could always start a company, buy one, or even invest to become an activist shareholder in order to create jobs and take less profit.
