Make Things In America: How Tax Reform Can Reduce The Burden On American Workers - Paperback

by James R. Olsen (Author)

Tax Reform puts money in the pockets of American Workers and the businesses that hire them. The result is a more productive and competitive workforce. We are told the tax burdens on the American Worker are axioms of capitalism. The burden gets heavier every year. Some are so disgusted they want to throw capitalism out the window. Politicians have applied so many band-aids that our economy looks like an Egyptian mummy.

We've gotten trickle-down supply-side economics from one party, massive tax-funded stimulus packages from the other - neither has worked. It's not magic if we focus on the very purpose of the American Economy. One needs to look no further than the first three words of the Constitution - "We the people." The American Worker is the very purpose of the American economy. Here is a Trickle-Up economic plan that begins from the bottom, with the household budget, finding how to relieve the financial pain, finding the funds from tax reform ideas, ideas and estimates from the Congressional Budget Office and other government agencies, ideas that have been gathering dust in the Library of Congress.

The American Worker will be more productive, compete with Chinese workers, and make a living wage. Thoroughly researched, we walk through the simple math of a tax-neutral plan to relieve the American Worker and those who employ them of all Federal taxes for the first $14 an hour in pay. $14 an hour means a $14 paycheck. For manufacturing and agriculture, it's $30 an hour. We walk through the math to provide substantial childcare assistance for every child in America. We walk through the math for healthcare to deliver a healthcare plan for all, generously funded to shorten waiting times and increase quality of care - almost half the cost for the American Worker and those who employ them. It can and should be done- leaving the American Worker better off, more productive, and able to bring manufacturing back to America.
