American Companies get tax breaks for creating jobs overseas. This should be stopped. Also, all companies that outsource American jobs overseas and lays off workers to do so, should pay that employees taxes, until the laid off employee finds a job. All taxes, City, County, Township, State, Federal. This way the tax base is not eroded or undermined by Corporate greed.

With the Euro economy struggling, Republicans breathing down Pres. Obama's neck with all of their money to oust him, repeated efforts to create US jobs with republican opposition (unless it is for big oil), I'd like to appeal to my fellow Americans, to go out and buy something American. Recent data shows that productivity is down... which means that those of us who have been fortunate enough to work, are now tired of our overload... and this is going to force companies to hire.... IF... the demand for products stays up. So, go out there and be a good-demanding-American! Go buy something! But be planful... pick an American product, or American friendly product, or democratic friendly product, and help keep up the demand. Help create new jobs through your purchasing power, help "vote" through your purchasing power, help keep our economy going. Make it harder on the Obama haters to hate. Rise to this American Challenge! Show the Kock brothers, Karl Rove, Trump, Rush and the republicans who love to hate, that we are going to take back our country despite their twisted agenda.

Through employer tax incentives, provide the option for applicable businesses to allow those employees who have the ability to work from their home to do so to channel the money from the gas tank which benefits the oil companies to local economies and to contribute to a greener and healthier environment.

Spend and Hire for Our President is about doing all we can to boost the economy and help President Obama get re-elected. If you have the ability to make that extra purchase, buy that house or hire another worker, then do it now!

Safeway just went to the bargaining table with some of it's unions in Northern California. The contract presented takes away full time "status", (even if they work a full eight hours, they won't receive full time employee benefits) overtime, holiday pay, and any medical care costs would be paid as a whole by the employees themselves with no aid from Safeway at all. Most of their employees, like many of us, have families to support and cannot lose pay during a strike lest their families go hungry. As a customer, and a non-Safeway employee I am outraged and calling on my fellow labor supporters to help these people before SAFEWAY becomes SLAVEWAY!

The President and Congress are uninformed of the fact that Super Energy Efficient housing (SEE for short) can help to solve many of the major problems facing our nation and the world today. Building all of our new homes and converting our existing homes to be SEE can help to: 1) Quickly create construction, distribution, and manufacturing jobs, 2) Help to stimulate today’s economy and assure a vibrant long-term economy, 3) Help citizens to save money immediately and more money in the future, 4) Help to cutback on pollution and save our environment, 5) Help to cut dependence on foreign energy sources, 6) AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, not be another never-ending and expensive Federal Government program. We are calling on the President and Congress to look at this solution as a way to help to address the major problems that are facing the United States today. FMI on Super Energy Efficient housing, please refer to the book, “SEE” The EMPOWERING Energy Solution.

Republicans these days have become obsessed with the term “job creators”. They claim that handing money and power over to big wall street banks and the top earning %1 will stimulate job growth and thus the economy. But as we’ve seen in recent years, these measures actually have the opposite effect. Extra cash for corporations only equates to more cost saving measures such as the purchase of expensive equipment and systems that displace workers and yield no benefit to the economy or the greater community. Outsourcing is also a cost cutting measure that displaces American workers. To solve these issues I propose implementing a displaced worker tax that would tax corporations on every dollar made by the displacement of American workers so that it becomes too costly to outsource or otherwise displace American employees.

the way 2 get out of this deficit would be to raise wages. and build the middle class. stop the war on the middle class.unions are the best way 2 empower the worker. these work for less states are just that. everyone is making money but the labor force.

The Adoption Tax Credit has helped families offset high costs for years. Signing this petition will ensure that the refundable tax credit is renewed. It is set to sunset at the end of 2012 and move to a non-refundable credit. In 2013 it will be cut in half and only available for special needs adoptions. We need your help to make it permanent and refundable for all Americans adopting. We are in the process of adopting a child. The cost of adoption can range from a few thousand dollars to over $50,000! Having the Adoption Tax Credit available for families, helps in more ways that just financially to the family adopting. By helping people who might not otherwise be able to afford the costs of adoption; foster care children will be reduced, the need for orphanages in the future will be eliminated/reduced, abortions will go down and mother's keeping kids they cannot afford and thereby increasing welfare to them will also go down. This is a win/win for humanity, tax payers and for the government. Thank you adoptiontaxcredit.org for providing info to better address the needs of the credit to be extended.

Pulitzer-prize winning economist Paul Krugman shows us how to move our nation forward in his book "End This Depression Now." It's time we empowered him to do so! Read my article http://occupythesec.nycga.net/ and you will see why this makes BOTH economic and political sense.
