Re-Employ America

Re-Employ America http://reemployamerica.org & http://reemployamerica.us - A 501(c)4 organization advocating for American manufacturing with consumer and political activism

Our organization founder started researching the economic effects and read the trade agreements. This research took a few years, and the results exposed the economic devastation created by these agreements. The impact on the U.S. economy was shown to be prevalent in all sectors; manufacturing, financial, medical, government and even the service sector. In 1994 one of the first causes of our decima

ted economy was put into place; the North American Free Trade Agreement. The economists said it would become an economic failure; they were right. Since then, the United States has entered into free trade agreements with 18 more countries. These have been touted as the best economic growth incentive for manufacturers which would then create more jobs. In fact, more jobs were created, but not in the United States. The agreements eased manufacturing restrictions that other countries had in place. With these restrictions lifted more American manufacturers moved to these common market countries. With those movements came lobbying efforts to ease the tax requirements on imported products. With relatively tax free income for moving offshore, most non-food consumer products started entering the United States with almost no real production cost. It was the combination of these two factors that created some of the most successful “multi-national” corporations in the world. These same factors also created the largest unemployed and underemployed population of all of the “industrialized” nations in the world. American manufacturing jobs were replaced with service sector employment opportunities which paid as much as one-third of the manufacturing jobs. These low paying entry level jobs created more economic problems in local communities and spread like a plague to the nation with a few years. As large manufacturing was lost in communities across the country other businesses were effected through the loss of consumer patronage. This led to small businesses closing almost as fast as they during the Great Depression. This domino effect spread fast to other businesses and then to government. The lost institutional tax base was the first to go and created shortfalls in local government funding which led to greater state and federal help. The personal tax base followed and had the greatest impact. The first budget cuts came in form of reduced services such as law enforcement and other emergency services. Public education was next, not just schools but public libraries and museums. Infrastructure was next, with less growth and maintenance came more job losses. Communities started to look to state governments for help, these were also suffering, which led to federal assistance for non-federal obligations. As Americans had less personal income, social service assistance grew. Social welfare use has almost quadrupled since 1994 to almost $65 billion in 2011, inflation considered. With less middle-class Americans paying income taxes, use and excise taxes contributing to local public services to federal obligations and more of these same middle-class Americans needing social assistance, the national budget cannot get balanced which has led to a national debt that may take 20 years or more to recover. Re-Employ America was founded on the principal that with more consumer products manufactured in the United States, more middle-class Americans will become self-sustained, less use of social economic assistance and more taxes being paid thereby taking financial pressures from local to federal governments. This will then lead to better and balanced budgets. Educating voters and elected representatives at all levels as to the economic importance of increasing our consumer products manufacturing in the United States.

As our members of Congress continue to ignore economic facts, they are failing all of us.

We need jobs that encourage economic growth. We need Made in America jobs.

If the TPP gets passed in this lame-duck session, then it will last virtually forever. The only way it can be altered or repealed is if every single country agrees across the board. That means all the outsourcing of jobs are here to stay unless we stop this disastrous trade deal in its tracks.

The financial quality of employment is just as important as increasing employment and employment opportunities.
Putting more people too work means nothing if they must rely on the government for financial and social safety net assistance. "...this will be the incentive for the poor to earn more money." How? By taking on a second job? Won't that take an employment opportunity from someone else?
If your rebuttal to that is that we need to end all financial safety nets to and for the poor by the government and that; “The poor can get their needs met from charitable organizations.”
Wrong, charitable contributions are allowed as tax deductions, thereby putting the burden back to tax payers; this only changes the source of financial safety nets, not the cost to tax payers.
Quality employment is the only form of wealth distribution that creates more employment.

Hello Everyone
I’m William, the executive director for Re-Employ America. For the last several months I have had some personal business that has severely interfered with my abilities to manage and participate with the organization. Over the next several weeks I will start to participate more. This includes getting better organized to grow the organization.

As an organization, we need to get a lot of things accomplished; keeping the websites updated, building our governance and committees. We need to start getting donations to reestablish business licenses, pay for the websites and providing marketing materials.

Your help and participation will be welcomed. Please visit our website, http://reemployamerica.org/, and explore our governance and committee opportunities. We also need essays and studies, current news, and assistance with our “Made in USA” website and directory. If you are interested in participating outside of Facebook, please send an email to [email protected].

We could also use additional admins for the page. People to post/share employment, Made in USA products and news, economic news and answer questions when they arise.

Organization questions will likely be answered by me.

Thank you :)
