What are you talking about then? Outsourced jobs? There is nothing you can do about it unless you want to put tariffs on imports and cripple the consumer and finish off the fragile economy. Cutting taxes on business would encourage businesses to make more money and expand, and therefore hire some workers. It always has and always will.
Buck...that is not true...not at all.
There is a lot of merit in what BCSBunk states. The argument that there "is nothing you can do" is old and tiresome.
There are things that absolutely can be done. And protectionist policies are a relative thing. We have had protectionist policies to some degree forever.
It's time for America to disdain the corporate mantra that there "is nothing we can do".
Corporate America claims they cannot compete here. The question remains why? And leveling the playing field across the globe is the right thing to do. But corporate America can evade the social net overhead by complicitly operate with foreign governments that are cool with artificially deflating wages and benefits.
Unfail global labor laws==America headed fpr the shitter. Fair global rules, American private industries thrive.
This is the only way that America can survive economically.
Those that believe that, by default, are quite content with America becoming a feudalist country. Because that is where we are headed.
It's time for Americans to educate themselves on the realities of globalization.
Globalization at the present rate==the top 5% raking it in. The bottom 95% losing jobs, and purchasing power.
As I linked in another thread. Today's Americans true purchasing power has gone down 9% since 1973. (Inflation adjusted numbers)
