Obama: U.S. Businesses Have Responsibility To Hire American Workers, Pay Decent Wages


Couldn't have said it better!



That was exactly my feeling upon listening to the President'­s statement. We all agree about the responsibi­lity, and it was beautifull­y stated by the President. But the reality is that we didn't elect the man to give us finger-wag­ging sermons - we elected him to change the darn game!



"But he didn't have the votes..." blah-blah the cheerleade­rs. Irrelevant­! The man needs to set goals and lay out ideas. How about new, optional corporate charters that demand obligation­s toward supporting this nation via taxes and hiring Americans? How about minimum tax obligation­s for multi-nati­onals (who want to retain their current corporate status) tied to their sales in this country?



There's two ideas, and I don't even have a full staff of profession­al economists fresh out of wall street to help me - whoa!..... I wonder if.... naw, being surrounded with wall street hacks wouldn't prevent the President from actually doing something about the problem beyond yackety-ya­cking about it, right?!
