THE FALL OF THE AMERICAN WORKER

What we have witnessed is the fall of the American worker due to our failed trade agreements. The American manufacturing industry has been obliterated due to companies moving to foreign nations to take advantage of cheap labor. The textile industry is history; the electronic industry is history and many others are gone and are no longer being manufactured in our country but in foreign nations by foreign workers. These agreements/treaties sold us out. Just imagine the astronomical amount of tax revenue that has been lost along with our jobs! This plays a major role as to why our economy is failing and it will continue to fail. Every time they sign into another trade agreement/treaty more jobs are lost. How much more can we afford to loose? Why did they allow this to happen? They knew this would Transpire!
When you go to the store how many items do you see that are made in the USA?
How many do you see that are made in China!
I rest my case!
Furthermore;
We need to create jobs in this country by withdrawing from or revising the North American Free Trade Agreement and similar treaties. We need to rebuild some of the manufacturing industry in this country. We need to penalize companies that move their plants to foreign nations to manufacture goods and give companies tax breaks if they stay in the US or return to the US to manufacture Products. Giving tax breaks to companies so they can create jobs is one the biggest lies anyone could tell. Tax breaks create nothing but bigger bonuses for corporate America. You cant create job positions that DO NOT exist. The bridges between the rich, the middle class and poor are becoming larger than they have ever been in history. Soon there will be no middle class just the rich and the poor. We need to put an end to this madness before its too late. These treaties are destroying our economy and the economies of the countries involved in the treaties.
This is why we have an unprecedented amount of illegal immigration in this country which is destroying our country and our economy. We need to fine and prosecute companies that hire illegal immigrants and we need to deport those who are here illegally. Only at this point, will the economy start to prosper. Anything less will be useless.

@TAMARLANE I found what you've said to be interesting, and so I would to suggest that you log onto the website of Boston Consulting Group, bcg.com, there is much talk about bringing much manufacturing work back to America, which I think is nice, but don't try to force working men and women to work for Industrial Revolution wages, so a few executards can get richer.

@mannecyberguy I liked Feudal Japan. Return them, not fire them.It was not GREED , it was SURVIVAL. .The cost to do business in the US was too high. Taxes, environmental controls, regulations and labor union wages drove business out of the US.

@mozart642 HOW??? 

[mannecyberguy]

@TAMARLANE Not to do any namecalling, but if you've read world history, Japan tried something like that without the protectionism, in the 17th thru the mid-19th centuries. Also, when you speak of returning our military personel home, how will they be able to support themselves and/or their families?  Also, don't forget that the big companies and manufacturers outsourced most American jobs abroad because of their ever increasing GREED.

The politicians in Washington,don't give a shit about the average American citizen.You have to understand that these people are either VERY rich or EXTREMELY well off financially.....do you really think they care at all about you or your families? Its all about MONEY & POWER in Washington.Its not a govt of the people anymore,its ruled by greed and corruption.We are ALL fucked,no amount of complaining will fix it because there are NO honest politicians.
