Issue Position: Creating Jobs, Manufacturing, and Rebuilding Our Economy

Issue Position

Our district needs JOBS NOW and Education Grants for our children seeking Higher Learning, not burdensome loans that only make our problems worse. Yes, this is where the Federal Government must play a key role to assist us in getting us to where we want to go. We need our Federal Government where we pay our tax dollars to help alleviate our struggles. That is why the Top 1% has expensive Lobbyists at our Federal Government that only serve "their" interests and you will have me as your intermediator looking out for our best interests at heart at this level.
When elected, I will file bills instituting a WPA style jobs program to rebuild the Southeast Side of the district by rehabbing streets and sewer systems, and providing training for a multitude of skills that will be needed. We must now prepare for the returning of industry to the district. The long term unemployed must be up to par, as my aim is to convince American companies that you must come home and setup shop back in America. There are several methods by which this can be accomplished.
-Through tariffs on the products shipped back to this country that would be so onerous that the message would ring out loud and clear, "BRING THE JOBS BACK HOME , QUICK, FAST & IN A HURRY-By changes in the tax code on businesses, since most are headquartered here but the factories are offshore, we would tax them where the make the goods.
-Forcing the companies to bring the money back home from offshore accounts out of the reach of the IRS, the IRS would be given the tools by laws passed, to go and confiscate these untaxed profits.
We must have a change to get back to the normal that was--before over 57,000 manufacturers were permitted by this government, to simply pick up and leave, and go to other countries--some with financial assistance from the U.S. Taxpayers, to pack up and abandon our citizens, leaving them with nowhere to work.
