in American jobs.

I will bring our jobs back home!
I will stop Free Trade.
I will stop Outsourcing.

We are in a downward spiral. Price competition is driving down wages, which means fewer sales, which means tighter price competition, which means driving wages down further. Free-Trade drives down labor costs by allowing dollar-a-day foreign workers to take our jobs. Trickle-Down just takes money from the poor and gives it to the rich, so they can invest it in more foreign labor. And Minimum-Wage is so low that it’s below the poverty line. So low, that even two jobs at minimum wage is still below the poverty line.

America built it’s wealth through innovation. We started the assembly lines. We started the automated machinery. We started just about everything. My vision is that automation takes a step further, and we all learn how to manage said machinery. A good, solid, high-paying technician job. Americans all need the opportunity to go to college to be prepared for this. GDP is increased through advances in productivity, nothing else. Productivity is advanced through innovation. Innovation is NOT advanced through cheap labor.

Really I’m pro-business. I’m pro-capitalism. With one little caveat... I will set minimum fair labor requirements, minimum standards of decency. Left to their own accord, corporate America has shown us what they think of working Americans. They’re just as happy to treat us like dirt.

I am a proponent of SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE Capitalism.

We have become an Economy of war.

Take a look at the stock market trends from 2000 to the present. You’ll see, that in 2000 and 2001 the market peaked, and flattened out. In 2002, you can clearly see the nosedive begin. That’s what the Bush tax cuts were, and are, doing to us. Notice when the upward trend begins in 2003. Right about the time we invaded Iraq. Right about the time our Government decided to begin running huge deficits. And it has been upward or level ever since.

Need more evidence? Not a problem. Watch the market trends each week. Watch the daily fluctuations. When there is a hint of peace in the Middle East, the stock markets drops. As the threat of war, or terror increases, the stock market goes up. Like clockwork.

The real trend of the economy, underneath the deficit spending, underneath the war, is down. We are losing manufacturing jobs. We are losing all manner of skilled jobs. We are running a huge Trade deficit. The biggest gains in employment are in the service sector. What’s that tell you? Pick up a bucket, and start learning to use a mop.

GDP is not going up. It’s going down. Adjust it for inflation. Adjust it to take out the military expeditures of the war. We are not producing. Our actual GDP over the last five years has fallen at about 2% a year, even as our population grows!

The dollar, in just the last 5 years, has lost over 30% of its value. The greenback is becoming worthless. Your purchasing power is dropping like a rock.

Go ahead. Vote for a Politician. Say good-bye to your job.
