Clearly, the everyday Joe would not outsource his job. BUT, the problem with having regular citizens make business decisions for the manufacturing base is that they have no skin in the game. They have no capital investment in the company… they have no need to worry about return on such investment. They work… they get paid. End of story.

Unfortunately, the greatest manufacturing power in history has moved away because of the costs of doing business here… relative to those costs elsewhere. Whatever role govt had was to drive those costs upward… regulation, taxes, you name it.

Should working people wish to step in and form other businesses of their own, reinstate the manufacturing base on their own, reap the profits on their own… I say go for it.

What’s stopping them ?

We can argue all we like about the practicality of regular citizens making national policy, but one thing can’t be disputed: If regular citizens had been running the show, they never would have abandoned our manufacturing base. They never would have agreed to enrich international oligarchies at the expense of the American economy.

Taking the greatest manufacturing power in the history of the world and dismantling it—relegating it to the role of industrial “spectator”—is something that working people would never allow to happen. Never. Only the U.S. Congress would see the wisdom in pissing away something that took 150 years to build.

Level the playing field by banning the import of slave labor goods. Why should Wal-mart prosper on the backs of Chinese migrants and at the expense of Main Street Mom and Pop stores?

Ban the off-shoring of jobs by “American” companies. If they sell a percentage of goods into the US market, they must employ that same percentage of their workforce inside the USA.

Take back the ability to regulate the currency from private bankers. Every cent you pay in taxes goes towards debt service to the Federal Reserve. It does not pay for schools, roads, military, or anything. It all goes to pay the Federal Reserve it’s pound of flesh in debt.

Revoke/reduce the number of H-1B VISA workers. Why are there over 60,000 of these created every year even during the Great Recession (Depression)?

Revoke corporate money as a form of free speech. It is graft, it is bribery, it is wrong and it dilutes the voice of the populace in favor of the very rich minority.

Remove the status of person-hood from corporations. Corporations exist solely to earn a profit. They are not moral or ethical. They serve no God. They are not people and do not deserve the same rights as man. This was not always the case, but it is the case today in the market of “greed is good” where ethics and social responsibility are concepts no longer in practice.

These are the things that will right this nation and restore the job market. These are the things the establishment will not allow to occur. We will continue the downward spiral until we are brave enough to force these to occur.
