Help Save The American Dream

Who really controls modern America is it our politicians our business leaders? Is America in trouble because of its politicians or is it in trouble because so called American businesses are shipping our jobs overseas? Are the so called business leaders of America actually more traitorous then Benedict Arnold? I believe so and so do many more Americans. We have American businesses trying to tug at our heart strings by saying be patriotic and buy American but these same cowards are the ones who are laying off American workers and producing their so-called American products overseas. It’s time we save the American dream and start punishing companies who outsource to overseas, its my job and yours to find out who these companies are and stop buying their products, we need to do this before it is too late. Am I the only one who is sick and tired of so-called American companies firing their domestic American workers while building up their foreign workers? How dare an American car manufacturer lay off thousands of Americans based on their inability to be competitive. First they told us that we need to buy their bigger cars to help keep them profitable, they then started opening plants in other parts of the world thus increasing need and increasing demand for oil. As demand for oil increased the cost of owning these big trucks increased and this resulted in a lowered demand. Did the company not see this happening? Well in fine fashion the leadership of this company does not take the blame but instead they just lay off American workers, how dare they. They created this monster and when it comes home to roost the company just cuts American workers and assumes no responsibility. How about their supposed social conscience? How about their social responsibility? We need new legislation which rewards companies who create or keep work in domestic America and not reward companies who fire American workers and import their quasi-American products into the domestic United States.

Without jobs there can be no economic recovery regardless of what anyone tells you, it’s that simple. As companies outsource they reduce the ability of Americans to consume, as we reduce consumers we reduce need, and thus the vicious cycle is borne. Idiotic CEO’s thought they had found the magic pill by finding cheap foreign labor but soon everyone was using that so-called magic pill and now companies have no idea how to be competitive any longer because all they have focused on the past several years is the search for cheap labor and not the ability to be effective and competitive. If we do not band together and protect our jobs in America we will continue to see a declining economy and a lessening of our quality of life. As we lose jobs we lose our tax base and as we lose the tax base we lose our states ability to take care of itself.
