I have a simple question that I would really like answered.  A few weeks ago in the middle of the night, a question came to mind that I can’t let go.  The American economy is in tough shape right now, how tough is debatable, however I think most would agree times are difficult to navigate.  It’s my belief that our only turnaround is to lower the unemployment rate across the nation ie. creating more jobs. Everyday I read or hear politicians, economists, etc., with general solutions to the the problem, but most don’t seem to have real answers. Many US corporations are producing, manufacturing, and servicing products and goods overseas. I believe in a capitalist society. United States corporations have the right to make these decisions for the betterment of profit margins and stock holders, however we as a nation also have the right to compete for the business as well.

So here’s my question.

What would it take to bring manufacturing, production, and servicing of US products and goods back home? 

Whether it’s lowering of corporate tax rates, tax credits, government subsidies, changes in policy, etc., I would like to have the answer, as I feel many Americans would.  Once the answers are available then I feel we can debate what we as a nation are comfortable with. 

The answer can only come from corporations themselves.  I love my iPhone, however if I ask Apple what it would take to produce Apple products in the US my voice is too small.  The only way we can start these discussions and get action is to get a bigger voice.  I honestly believe that the more support we can get, the more we can be heard.  The more we’re heard, the greater the chance will be of getting real answers, good or bad.  Please help me get a bigger voice.
