Proposals to improve the U.S.A economy for the benefit of the majority of Americans.

 

My concerns:

American corporations are investing heavily in other countries, transferring  jobs, knowledge and capital to other countries; consequently, millions of American workers are losing jobs and most Americans are losing ground economically . The rich continue to get much richer, while most other Americans are getting poorer. Let’s stop this trend and take our country back!

 

My solutions:

The goal of the proposed solutions below are to reduce exportation of American resources (jobs, knowledge, and capital) and increase investments in the U.S. How? Enact new laws that better protect American resources and workers.

 

For example:

 

1).  Implement new geographic-centric trade laws.

       Products and services consumed in the U.S.A, should be produced in the U.S.A.

       Products and services consumed outside the U.S.A, can be produced outside the U.S.A.

       This law will significantly reduce unemployment in the USA because millions of off-shore

       outsourced jobs will be required to come back to the U.S.A. If American corporations    

       threaten to leave the USA, let’s seize their facilities and assets in the USA.   

       We have plenty of well educated experienced  professionals in the USA (many unemployed)

       that are capable of successfully  running a corporation  for the benefit of all (employees ,

       shareholders,  community,  society).

 

2).  Revise corporate government-mandated reporting rules.

       Require full transparency of all American Corporate off shoring activity,  including the

       number of jobs being created in other countries. Currently, the volume of off-shore

       outsourced  jobs  is  unknown because American corporations are not required to report

      on these and other related offshore activities (environmental impact, labor working  

      conditions, etc);  consequently, multinational conglomerates off shore resources operate

      without independent oversight.

 

3).   Enact consumer advocacy laws that permit public access to corporate

        government-mandated reporting data on American firm’s foreign activities.

        This access would allow Consumer Advocacy groups to review, evaluate, and

        report publically, with impunity, on American firms efforts  to become good corporate

        citizens,  (e.g., note the number of offshore outsourced jobs, environmental impacts

        world-wide, labor working conditions world-wide) and  rate corporations (A, B, C, D, F).

       Concerned Americans could then make informed decisions about which corporations they

       choose to do business with and whose products to buy (or boycott).

 

4).  Revise tax laws to provide financial incentives to invest in the USA.

       Provide incentives to corporations (domestic and non-domestic) to build new facilities  

       and hire American Workers in the U.S.A.
