How? Let's say you are the CEO of a large company that has hundreds of jobs outsourced overseas and has for years. How will you "bring back jobs" with a federal government that does more harm than good. How long can you keep the company afloat when the bottom line is completely blown out by American wages not to mention the Employer Mandate coming up next year? Your competitor will eat you for lunch and buyout your company for dinner.
I want to see jobs come back home as well, but just shouting "Bring back AMERICAN jobs." while a hostile government is still in place ain't going to make it happen. So please, tell me how we truly bring jobs back.
I would enact trade tariffs. At least this is the idea which has most attracted my attention so far...
Sell things which are imported into America, at a premium.
I suggest a 10% tax rate. So: if a manufactured good is made overseas, charge an additional 10%.
If something is made here in America. No charge.
This would help in two major regards:
1) it would begin to PAY DOWN our deficit, currently over 17 trillion dollars.
2) this would also encourage companies to set-up American branches, or return American operations.
America has sold off everything. Even our military is now facing cutbacks.
Bring it back.
Now.
