    Repeal the "Free Trade Agreement". It enabled American companies to close factories and move those factories to foreign countries because it is cheaper to make those goods there and import them back paying no import tax, thus the American company makes a bigger profit than if it is made here.

    We need to stop fighting and work together and i don't mean Politicians i mean us,the people.I have given up all hope from help from our Politicians they are a lost cause.

    Some companies are bringing back jobs to America from China and India.But its going to take some time to feel the change that will make.

    We need to stop illegal immigration.We really do, it is just killing us.We have reached a tipping point where there is just to many here.

    Higher taxes will kill the bit of growth that we have seen.

    We need to fix our tax system.Businesses need to know they,re tax rate 10 years from now not year to year.This allows them to make decisions on what equipment they can buy and how many people they need to,or can afford to hire.

    Obama care scares potential employers because nobody knows what is in it,how much it will cost.Most of our problems are fear of the unknown.

    I think there is still more people that want to work then want the Government to take care of them.So America can still be great.But i fear a day is coming soon where that will change.I hope i am not around to see it.

    First, repeal the Obama-Care. It is too expensive. Entrepreneurs are afraid and don't want to employ people.

    2nd. businesses have too much red-tape to operate here; from the unions and from the environmentalists. We can be green but not fanatically green. The unions kill major companies.

    3rd. Lower taxes. it is a proven fact that low taxation stimulates the job creation. Do not hate the rich: just let us try to be rick as well. Envy leads to no-where.

    4th. Give us back our freedom: the government wants to manage our lives: what to eat, what light bulb to use,

    5th Create enough jobs to put to work the people now on welfare. Limit the time you can be on welfare, the same as we limit the time to be in unemployment.

    6th raise the level of morals in our society: every child needs a father and a mother. Stop the culture of single mothers. Make the fathers pay or go to jail.

    7th the last but not the least, Vote for anyone but Obama. Under his socialist agenda we will be like Greece, Spain, ,,,, broke.
