It's all about jobs you say?. Then we must place tariffs on foreign goods

[Boxerfan]

It's pretty damn simple...


The economy is now a global one you say?. We would be cutting our throats & driving away business to offshore headquarters?. Fine & don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

Ya see you can't deal/argue with greed. It's omnipresent & immortal. Some people are just born that way. I call them Republicans.

When you can always find someone-somewhere-to work cheaper than the next guy. When the old world borders of sea travel & isolationism are long gone. Well it is all too easy for the greedy corporates to look around the globe & source the lowest common denominator.

It is just a quantum leap easier nowadays. Hence tariffs are vital to our economy.

Let me explain why to the dense & greedy. Some people don't think like you. They don't see value in paper management. They are visceral people. Maybe brilliant-but just as likely not. But they have damn good skills that are begging now for a outlet. These people used to build our nation & drove the economy.The backbone as it were of the middle class.

And it didn't take a damn degree to get a job. Just a apprentice type period where you came up to skill or not.

And we thrived. When allowed to not worry about impending doom all the damn time the mind is allowed to be creative. Thats right I said allowed. You gotta be dense not to realize people perform poorly under stress. And right now there is more stress on the American worker than ever before, Fear may be a better term frankly.

So please President Obama...This a case of removing a cancer from America.

The greed is systemic & a key motivating factor for decisions by almost every corporation-by its very design. You Mr. president are a big picture guy. Long term thinker. And-I trust you.

Do the right thing-the HARD thing....Bring back strict tariffs on goods we need to manufacture here at home!. Give large tax incentives for the transition to get people on board. Raw material plants & the entire industry has been sold away. So a long hard slog it will be.

But it has to be done-it is that or die as a nation. We can't invent or borrow our way out of this-we have to build.The hope & new trade that brings will enhance general markets. Start with infrastructure-there is more than enough to start with there.

As the factories come on line-people will spend!. They have been programed to for heavens sake!.And when they spend it will get batter for all the layers of employment-I mean those that actually create something.

And the creative juices will flow. I guarantee it. The creative minds out there are mostly on survival mode.

We Americans can do anything we set our minds to. A better mousetrap or solar factory-whatever. Just give US a freaking chance!

That's all I'm asking-what a nation of BUILDERS-not destroyers-thats what we are asking for!


A chance....
