AMERICAN JOBS
Back on September 19th, 1994,
Fortune magazine’s front page read “THE END OF THE JOB.”
The article proceeded to tell exactly how this would happen.
The way work is performed, and where the work is performed was
going to change, they forecasted. Large plants with assembly
lines would be turned over to computer driven robots requiring
little human contact. Other types of work, such as call centers
and office pools, would be handled off premises through advanced
communication techniques. Competing businesses would work more
closely together, thus requiring fewer workers to perform the
task. And finally, work would be handed out by work bases to be
completed in a stipulated time frame.
The article was forecasting only the demise
of how work was to be performed in the future and not the
wholesale shipment of jobs overseas due to, in 1994 this new
thing was called globalization.
One definition of globalization is “a
process of interaction and integration among the people,
companies, and governments of different nations, a process
driven by international trade and investment and aided by
information technology.” This process has effects on the
environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic
development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in
societies around the world.
“On economic development and prosperity,
and on human physical well-being in societies around the world,”
means taking jobs from Americans and giving them to other
countries. Both the red and blue jerseys (Republicans and
Democrats) were responsible for the wholesale export of American
jobs and prosperity as indicated by their lack of effort to stop
the migration of corporations’ plants being moved overseas.
They even gave hundreds of millions of American dollars in tax
breaks for these companies to move over seas, one being the
Huffy bicycle plant.
The red and blue jerseys were sold on the
idea by non-government entities, such as the Council on Foreign
Affairs, that the movement of jobs off shore would not hurt the
American worker. All the while, knowing it would.
Now, it is time to fight back. Once my
initiatives of Tier One of my two tier action plan to move
America back on the road to excellence are in effect, I will
move to disengage from NAFTA. Since the NAFTA agreement is
classified under United States law as a
congressional-executive agreement, rather than a treaty. Along
with that, all efforts put forth on the formation of a North
American Union will be stopped and discarded. Then, I will move
to level the playing field by the placement of tariffs and
import duties on all goods being shipped into America, making
American products more competitive.
In my opinion, one of the
principle reasons for the failure of communism and socialism is
that the people have no ownership, no ownership in the tools of
free trade. Because of an unfair playing field, one of the most
important free market elements, the mom and pop businesses, have
ceased to exist in America. When the playing field is level the
mom and pop operations will begin to competitively spring up
again. When there is no ownership, then there is no reason to
fight.
America needs to be "an island in the
sky." What made America the greatest nation in the world was
that it was a virtual island continent--like Australia. It was
self-contained. What was made here was sold here. That changed
when the globalists forced open the doors and let foreign goods
in without imposing tariffs on those good. It hurts the
American economy, but the CFR insisted that the American
economy was strong enough to withstand the loss of productivity,
jobs and allowing our allies to sell their goods here keeping
those alliances strong. Well….
A weak nation cannot help ailing
nations in their time of need. I believe that America is and
will always be a good neighbor but only a neighbor. American
jobs means America prospers. American jobs means Americans
prosper.
