It is time to bring back American jobs.

It is also time, to use our tax code, to make that decision profitable for companies ready to back production to America.

We are trillions in debt, yet we allow our own companies to offshore their operations and operate as if continental distinctions are non-existent.

That was a good idea, until it started ruining America.

Now we need to change that. Before we collapse.

Tax imports. Significantly.

All good ideas but don't forget that America has the highest corporate tax rate on the planet. IF I were CEO I would stay “overseas” until the tax rate is structured more fairly, particularly when you compare hourly labor rates and the legal and regulatory atmosphere in America.

Won't happen. The tax rate on business is way too high. The environmental laws are too oppressive, and there's threats of a carbon tax on top of that. A wise businessman would build in a lower taxed country without even thinking about it.
Then there's the cost of union labor. It's all too much. The profits just aren't here.

As long as our government keeps taking and taking - then wasting and wasting, that's not going to change. In fact, I think the Oboma administration is going to drive out even more businesses . If a business can escape - it will.
