I agree with your points completel...Hello Unknown,<br /><br />I agree with your points completely. Employee ownership would go a long way towards correcting many of the economic ills in this country. I've been planning to write about it but the subject is so important that I want to build up my writing chops again, do some deep research and put out a piece of writing that anyone who reads this blog will be proud to share. Thanks for your comment. I hope to hear from you again!America Reforgedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439403631259873480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743580802022064403.post-25269270858927828622016-01-04T07:09:08.465-08:002016-01-04T07:09:08.465-08:00Hi Michael
I like the stuff you're writing he...Hi Michael<br /><br />I like the stuff you're writing here. I think the first step in getting people to buy American products is to find a way to get Americans to MAKE the products.<br /><br />We have been raised and taught with a very 'corporate' mindset, where a few at the top control the production at the bottom, with little say given to the bottom about what to produce, where to produce, how to produce and what to do with the profits.<br /><br />If workers owned the companies it's doubtful they'd make the decisions that the capitalists make. They're not going to outsource their jobs to Asia, pollute the environment in which they live, nor are they going to give a handful of people huge salaries and bonuses while others struggle to make ends meet.<br /><br />When a company threatens to move away if not given tax breaks and subsidies by the gov't, I say "let them go". THe gov't can use the money saved in tax breaks and subsidies to help the workers buy the company and run it themselves as their own, with an equal 1 person-1 vote democracy.<br /><br />Once enough people are a part of these large worker-directed enterprises, you'll see more people buying American products because they know the value of helping their fellow statesmen and countrymen. This would be one of many benefits of letting do of the mega-corps.<br /><br />People fear the only alternative to capitalism is a government-owned socialism. This requires little government involvement, other than the facilitation of getting started.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063832315781615967noreply@blogger.com
