What to do?

So now I was asked today by a friend, what is the solution? I know I sit here and point out all of the things that are going wrong in our society today and never offer any solutions. Well to be honest this is all for not if there where no solutions to be offered. And being that I am very opinionated there is always more to be said. So here is my list of Demands if you will.

1) Lets stop businesses from outsourcing jobs to other countries. But should we not be able to stop them from doing that lets at least impose Taxes on these companies. That way we still bring money into the country instead of losing on all ends. As it stands now we allow them to take jobs out of the country and that in turn reduces the income tax that is collected on top of that we give these companies major tax breaks and reliefs that cost millions. That is a lot of lost revenue that could offset the burden on the people.

2) In order to ensure the safety of the country against terrorists attacks lets stop the H1b,M1, and F1 Visa programs. The H1b program further hurts the country because jobs are being taken by people from other countries instead of further training the workforce that we currently have in this country. It is funny that we can go abroad and train people to do jobs but we can't train fellow Americans.

3) If there is a problem with the education system then lets fix that. The current no child left behind initiative is doing more harm than it is doing good. Today our children are being taught how to pass a test and there is no substance. Basically if it is not on the test they are not being taught it, not to mention if your child has trouble keeping up he gets left behind or shuffled off to a learning disability pool. Teachers are no longer being allowed to teach they are only reading from a manual and pumping that into the children.

4) And last but not least lets stop voting for people just based on the fact that they say the right things. Lets start looking at our elected officials past history and track records. Currently we have a lot of politicians in office who do not seem to care what the people want, instead they are loyal to the party. This is a major problem. We need to rethink the bi-partisan system. This system only pits people against each other and causes an unending power struggle. This has become all too real in the last few years and we watched the republicans (let me stop for one minute to say that I do not side with either party) come together in order to regain control of the government while all the while we the people have been left behind waiting for our government to return and help us.

This is just some of the things that I think need to be done in order to ensure and kinder gentler nation. I am sure that many will not agree with anything that I have said but then again that is the reason for this forum, to get all sides of the story. So don't sit quietly let me know what you think.
