Lack of jobs and outsourcing should be framed....
around patriotism. Corporations and companies that threw millions of Americans out of work in order to hire foreign and/or communist workers need to be called unpatriotic and/or traitors. The repugs are good about developing talking points and this should be one of ours. The more Americans that are working at a living wage the more consumers will buying products and services. This would be a way to throw patriotism in their face like they did us right after 9/11.

4. Outsourcing
I hate outsourcing.

I was really hoping that one of the candidates would have had a REAL plan for ending it. Taking away a tax credit is NOT enough of a plan. When a company can get rid of a 60K worker and replace that worker with a 5K worker, the tax credit isn't what is helping that company make that decision.

6. Every US taxpayer dollar invested in creating "green energy" jobs needs to be OUTSOURCE-PROOFED
by requiring that new enterprises receiving Gov't incentives be organized as a
worker-owned cooperative. Worker-owned firms, almost by definition, are outsource-
proof.
