President Obama And Job Speak

I am tired of seeing the President fly all around the country and give speeches about domestic job creation when in reality the President cannot, or is not, taking any real measures to ensure this happens. Let’s not kid ourselves, no one hires because of a tax break, they hire because of a need. A need is created when domestic products are consumed. However, if we continue to be a nation of importers there will not be a need for a job and thus the tax breaks being offered to businesses will be rendered useless. What we need to do is find a way to equalize global trade, not just for the United States but for everyone. Big business will always abscond from responsibility and loyalty in the pursuit of the almighty profit dollar and this will continue to be the problem which will continue collapse economies. China and India are signaled out but that is because at this time they are the lowest common denominator. However, there will soon be another country which will allow their citizens to be exploited by global businesses and these people will work for far less than the Chinese and then the Chinese will suffer in much the same way that Europe and the Unite States are suffering. The mistake we make is thinking business is flocking to China because of an affinity for the Chinese, they are not. Big Business is going to China to exploit their lack of workers rights and human rights and thus their cheap labor. The same is happening ion India and Mexico. However, as big businesses collapse the economies of developed nations they will soon collapse their own businesses. No longer will Americans and Europeans be their consumer base, it will have to become Asia, India, and Mexico. With the wages currently being paid in China, India, and Mexico who will buy the products being manufactured? When this problem occurs big business will have to find cheaper sources of labor who will then have to make products which will be sold to the slave labor workforces of China, India, and Mexico, and then the problem will reoccur, and reoccur. In order to halt the predatory practices of the race to the Bottom economic policies of big business, we need a global equalization policy. This policy should equalize prices for all goods and then allow companies and countries to compete on quality and innovation, not the exploitation of human beings for the greedy satisfaction of big business. I guarantee you that if Vietnamese work cheaper, or Canadians work cheaper, or any other countries citizens would work cheaper, China would see a vicious slowing of their economy and some other nation would rise up to be the temporary slum lord of our modern economy. China, India, Mexico, and the world have a decision. These countries can wait and slowly decay and fail one at a time or they can all work together to rise together and thus create a truly stabilized global economy.
