Effect Of Separation Of American Jobs From American Market

Effect of Separation of American Jobs
From the American Market

When American Capitalists such as Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie and others founded their businesses, the jobs they created were in the same location as the market that the products of the jobs were meant to be sold. The jobs and wealth created by expansion of business and the wealth of the workers that their jobs created were all located in the same market. That is, the financial opportunities for business were located in the same society as the jobs and the market opportunities. This is why Capitalism creates wealth that did not previously exist, not only for the business owner but also for the workers who make the products to be sold. The location of the market must be in the same society as the workers who produce the products and earn the money to buy the products. When the market is separated from the market-located jobs, the market will eventually disappear. The buyers of products are the makers of markets and without jobs the workers haven’t the money to buy and so the market shrinks and eventually the market might disappear. This decreasing market scenario is happening now with China and the European Common Market. American politicians are not doing enough retain a prosperous society. Instead they are allowing us to sink back into what existed before industrialists created the wealth of American society with jobs.
This situation is exactly what our government is destroying! Our federal government is actively separating business interests in America and the related American jobs from the American consumer market. The jobs are going to foreign countries but the market remains in America [temporarily]. Our politicians do not understand that free markets only work to the benefit of both business owners and workers when the jobs and the market are in the same society. In reality, politicians do understand this but have opted to bow to Global Business instead of bowing to the loyal American industrialists, and the jobs that choose to stay in America.
A market is an extremely valuable resource. Our government is selling the American market to global business interests who have gained appreciable control of American politics. The Bilderberg Group is a case in point.[Go to Google and type in the word Bilderberg and see the response]
The necessiity of making jobs and market be in the same society is what drives politicians to pass laws making tariffs on imported products a necessary condition for access to the country’s market. The purpose is to protect the jobs and thus the market and living standard for the citizens. This is often counter-productive because other societies retaliate by passing tariffs on products made in the politician’s country. This tit-for-tat policy slowly diminishes the size of the valuable markets in both countries. America has refrained from using tariffs to control the loss of jobs but other countries have not reciprocated. China uses regulations and dense, slow, capricious decision paperwork to achieve the same effect as monetary tariffs to control access to the huge Chinese market. Thus China can say we have no tariffs, but the control of imports is still there.
Carl Levin and his refusal to stop illegal immigration, build a wall, keep American jobs for Americans, etc. is actively destroying the American market and the American standard of living. His refusal to support drilling for oil has made Americans unable to travel as they used to. This represents a shrinking of the American market. It is only one example of many. His actions cause corporations to move to low labor cost countries. Levin’s political dependence on Big Labor Unions has resulted in the continuing destruction of American jobs, the American market and the standard of living. The kinds of jobs that are left are not the kind that many loyal Americans are able to fill without specialized education. Keep the electorate uninformed and they can be lead to accept anything.
What do we do if tariffs do not work or if Global Business chooses to move jobs to other low wage countries? What options do we have to keep American jobs inside the American market? There are some things that can be done. Toyota is one example of a corporation that brings the jobs to the market instead of separating worker’s jobs from the market. States that have Right-to-Work laws have received the great majority of jobs such as those provided by Toyota. Michigan and America need a right-to-work law. Require the jobs, the shipping, the transportation and all aspects of foreign business to keep the jobs in America. It won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. NAFTA is the federal government’s effort to separate jobs from the market, all for the benefit of Global Business and deny any benefit to American citizens.
I believe that showing the voters that you understand the dynamics of the loss of jobs and what might be done to correct the problem will gain some votes in November. Government control and taxing will not solve the problems that American business faces. Less paperwork, less government, less bureaucracy, fewer obstacles to jobs are needed. Any Michigan federal senator must have these as requirements for being elected. America has a lot of power over Asia. All we have to do is stop buying anything that is made in China, India or anywhere else in Asia. That is why the Chinese, Japanese and Indian economies have an instant problem when ever America stops buying or even slows down buying products from any of the three countries. We only need the will to do what is needed. We can stop their destruction of American jobs by stopping buying their products. It is our market they want, not our jobs. Canada is a socialist country that history has shown does not work. The Liberals keep changing the name from Communism, to Liberal to Progressive, etc. but they are all the same. The government and bureaucrats think they can make better decisions than the folks who are actually buying and thus forming the market. History has shown since the middle 1800's that government is too stupid to make such broad decisions. The same goes for laws. No law fits all cases and they don't care. More laws means more opportunities to sue, arrest, and stop anything that the bureaucrats don't like.
