A lot of what you say here is true, but more gov't is NEVER the answer. If you want to bring those jobs back to America you better create incentive. I don't ridicule Obama for driving jobs out of America, even though he is responsible for some of that himself. I ridicule Obama for wanting to drive wealth away from America and his spite of what America stands for. I ridicule him for being soft on Foreign Policy. I ridicule him for failing to live up to his promises.
I am thankful to God above that his days are numbered, and I am hopeful that he doesn't try to do any more to "help" the Greatest Nation the world has ever seen --- because we don;t need his kind of help!!
The trouble with your statement is that you think BIG BUSINESS can create Jobs,whereas it is these very same people who have exported all the Jobs,Government can create employment in many ways but America should start buying American quality product,they prove cheaper in the end,as it lasts much longer.
Please... You think big business doesn't create jobs? You live in fairy land. Small business has and always will be the back bone to American business though. Either way, the only way to create jobs is to create an environment where jobs can be created.
That means you have to focus on helping businesses build here in America. If the gov't wants to help, they can provide resources to help existing business and developing business. By resources I mean information and networking - put people with ideas together with people who have knowledge. There are private backers for virtually any good idea. Corporations use these techniques to diversify every day.
Leftists can hate on big business all they want, but big business will ALWAYS find the best way to make money and follow that route. The gov't has no business trying to make them behave the way they want them to. You want jobs - make it easy for big business to make money.
There is nothing that rich people do with their money that doesn't help the economy. NOTHING. They spend it, or they invest it. Either way, they just create jobs. The trick is understanding that they are gonna get theirs no matter what. GOOD FOR THEM! The better they do the better we all do.
If you tax them to death you end up with nothing. No jobs created. no new revenue streams. No research and development. You have just created an environment where you now need the gov't to do those things - The gov't does nothing well.
Show me one gov't endeavor (in America) that does a better job than private enterprise. You can't...
