U.S. Companies not hiring Americans but are hiring in countries such as China, India and Saudi Arabia. Click image to enlarge.
Too much of any one thing is never a good thing, and America is currently shipping too many American jobs off-shore, which is helping aid in high unemployment rates. Some say, ‘This is America we have enough wealth and jobs to go around’ but the fact is this is no longer old America, that produced its wealth, this is now new America which acts as the middleman to global wealth. This new role of a less production oriented America can only lead to higher numbers of Americans unemployed, as it has.
These companies and many more are hiring over seas but are not helping to ease unemployment in the U.S. Click image to enlarge.
For decades Americans have been told that we need to hold hands with the rest of the world to get along, and that’s true, we can’t be isolationist. But when will our politicians realize many of the countries we’re holding hands with are not holding our hand out of getting along but are pulling our hand in the direction they want America to go, which best benefits their needs (in most cases the government needs, not their citizens needs). Countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, India and Venezuela are allowed to flood our markets with their products but are careful not to allow too much American products into their markets. These countries prioritize protecting their state and economy; most of these countries envelop themselves with a spirit of nationalism, while the Liberal-Progressive movement in America has deemed nationalism as being closed-mindedness.
America seems to be the only country that punishes itself while looking out for the best interest of this global economy. Some politicians and corporations have been more than willing to sacrifice American jobs, while giving jobs to other countries. Cheap wages and less regulations in other countries is the obvious carrot. There’s nothing wrong with making a profit but it has come time for America and American companies to worry about the good ole’ U.S. just a bit more than we worry about other nations. Let’s sacrifice together; U.S. companies reign in your greed and bring the jobs back home, and we the American citizen will be fine with paying a little more (@ fair price) out of our wallets.
If the Congress would lower US corporate tax rates, which are currently the highest in the world, and President Obama would truly seek to stabilize the economy by letting it run on it’s own instead of tethering it to regulations and uncertainties, I believe US companies would be more likely to invest here at home.
But why should they when they have no reason to believe they’ll have a positive climate to work within.
Considering that most employers in the US are small companies, fixing the outsourcing by major corporations is literally a drop in the bucket. But in these days, every drop counts!
Thanks for the great post!
Thanks Richard, God bless.
It just looks so bad when we have so many needing work here but companies give jobs away over seas. Those millions of jobs over seas could be millions employed here. I want to help others but we have to help ourselves as well, because if we fall we can’t help anyone, not even ourselves.
I agree. It’s just going to take more than what our present leadership is willing to do. The way things are headed, if we don’t get a true leader, not one who admits he’s willing to “lead from behind”, our country will fall further behind the rest of the world economically. America will end up being the tail rather than the head.
I agree with Rice about the corporate tax rates. Lowering that would ease unemployment. But so would getting rid of Obamacare. Corporations do not have to offer the same benefits to workers overseas. The Obama administration and liberals want to make the situation worse, by making it easier for workers to unionize. IF unions become even more prevalent here, look for a lot more jobs to be shipped out of the states.
yes … lower or eliminate corp taxes, increase import taxes, but at some point, the unions’ power to raise wages, benefits, and increased pensions has to be stopped, too!
Welcome in blogsense-by-barb. Happy Labor Day!
Your right; once needed, unions have now over-stayed their welcome, unions are killing more jobs than they create(look at outsourcing, millions of jobs gone). Unions have become the perfect picture of selfishness.
Excellent point Freedom, Obama is coming from the Saul Alinsky blueprint to shape government policy. First, create chaos by throwing a monkey-wrench into the present program, get the people pissed at present government policy, push the socialist-liberal answer to the problem( make it appear to help everyone), people will begin to starve for relief then welcome the liberal policies.
Obama’s ultimate goal is more unions, by any means neccessary.
Obama is like a person that starts fires, runs off, reappears and put the fire out then is held as the hero who saved the day.
Perfect analogy!
Liberals complain about evil corporations sending jobs to China, but even more than their taxes are liberal regulations. Specifically, the EPA and their idiot green house gas threats. Then our moron in chief Obama says he will screw over anyone who opens a coal fired plant. They poured all of this money into solar companies that went bust . And poor little Barak cannot figure out why there are no jobs, duh.
A two year old could figure it out, but not a Harvard professor .
It’s called ‘kindergarten logic’, that’s what liberals offer us. They force alternative energy on us BUT the green technology can’t sustain us. Liberals say save the trees BUT kill a unborn child. They support unions BUT unions are the main culprets behind jobs leaving the country. Liberals say love “Mother Earth’ BUT spit in the face of the Father. It’s insanity I tell you!
Obama and liberals don’t care what negatives their policies bring because they see no negatives in their policies. They only see who they can blame when it doesn’t work.
Wow! So true. Remember when this crowd said not to trust anyone over the age of forty? I guess that’s why they’re still using “kindergarten logic.” We’re being “led” by a bunch of 5-year olds. Comforting thought friend.
