RA-50 Educating Consumers, Protecting America!
Target:
U.S Senate
Sponsored by:
Using an idea inspired by nutrition facts, upc labels, copyrights and trademarks, we can protect our own economy. Developing a scale called RA-50, we can provide our citizens with the knowledge, of how much of the money they spend, stays in the U.S. If products or companies were labeled according to a percentage based scale which is determined by, both, citizenship and employee reliance, the people could protect themselves with their purchases. The highest score of 50 would mean that a company has employed an American (no matter of ethnicity or origin) tax paying citizen at every opportunity. Points would be deducted for robotic, computer voice messaging and outsourced jobs when deemed not absolutely necessary of all profits in association with the American dollar. Citizenship of all owners would also affect the score. Once a score was determined the company would then display that score, regardless of employee activity(hirings or firings), until a new one can be recalculated, either by the company's request in order to improve it, or at random to maintain stability. The only thing this would change is how honest a business is with their consumers. It would encourage a business to employ tax paying citizens or show the public their true priorities. This idea is prototypical and can be adjusted and implemented in various ways. America's greatest freedom is freedom of choice and with that choice should come a certain knowledge. If managed correctly this would help to:
a) Provide an emergency plan to help assist an economic emergency.
b) Stabilize a middle class workforce.
c) Ensure that the only citizens to ever monopolize the U.S economy will be the U.S citizens.
d) Resurrect a declining American work ethic by making more jobs available.
e) Assist Unemployment and Welfare as well as aid in fighting crime, since most crimes are committed in desperation by people with nothing to lose.
f) Provide Americans with the knowledge that their earnings are used to continue the economic growth of America.
g) In providing economic growth for America, assistance would be available to assist others in need.
h) Empower others through example to be participants in the economic growth.
This idea will allow the American people to provide economic stability within our country, and would be created by the people, for the people. Securing our own integrity would set an example for others to follow.
This proposal is a result, not of the slightest resentment toward any other country or its citizens, but solely of our love and allegiance to our country and our citizens. Your most humble servant,

When corporations are the only ones in control it sets off the balance that is vital to our existence as a whole. By having the knowledge available to each consumer, we can regulate the balance needed to protect ourselves from greed, and strengthen the middle (mediating) class. Trade is essential but should be done through our products, not occupation. In large numbers we can suggest this. In larger numbers we can demand it. Please feel free to pass this information! Thank You

We the undersigned believe RA-50 will provide us the necessary information to protect our own economy on a daily basis. In an effort to combat greed and monopolization, this would give us the opportunity to use honest hard earned currency, in an effort to maintain a proper and peaceful balance. We, as a people, find the ability to encourage industry through the knowledge of our purchasing, is essential for the fair and continuous growth in which our Country was built. Thank You for your time and attention.

All Americans should strive to educate themselves regarding what is going on in the world around them. Current events, politics, economics both global and national, are just a few of the areas that more of our citizens need to understand and know about. Our current economic crises is very telling of what each Congressman is planning to do and where their true loyalties lie. Is it with you, or with the Lobbyists that promise them pie in the sky? Will you get a piece of the pie in the sky, Amarica? It's not looking that way. Vote on November 4th.

My money is going down the tubes. I'm not sure that anything much can happen as long as apathy is the chief reaction to the issues of our times. I am disappointed in the lack of perception on the part of my fellow citizens. It seems that no matter how bad things are, most are unable to understand where the tides washing in began their journey. As for technology, it's getting more frightening by the day when you consider all the talk of integrating the human mind with computers. This is not science fiction of the distant future. It is a prediction some are betting will occur within the next 25 to 50 years. I don't want to say our futures are hopeless but it's looking more bleak everyday. I would love to see change in the right direction.

So that every American who ever died for this Country was not just buying us time! Doing nothing, results in nothing! Someone probably Edmund Burke said "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." We DO get the goverment we deserve

Where is your money going? Is there any other plan that can keep us from succumbing to our own greed? If technology does all the work, how do we earn a living?

Our politicians have sold us down the river. We need to take America back for Americans. I'm tired of taking care of everyone else and our people are suffering. The insanity of repeating ourselves is not a solution - we need to break out of the box and have "a party". The politicians are so insulated from the problems of the "real citizens" they don't have a clue about many of the issues we live with.

My money certainly isn't going to having a good time. It is a struggle to put gas in the car, to buy groceries and there's that nasty mess our medical care issues are in. I'm tired of the boys at the top giving themselves a raise as their first order of business!

david epps the first step to solve the energy crisis is to attack the underlying cause for the crisis.The underlying cause for the crisis is not energy. The underlying cause is not that the US imports energy. The underlying cause of the crisis is that the US imports energy which creates a trade deficit. There would be no energy crisis if the US imported energy and exported products derived from that energy in an equal amount. As Pickins said "the US is exporting its wealth." When you plot the 1st derivative of savings rate and trade deficit These data shows that as the trade deficit is reflected in the savings rate nearly exactly. The more products the US imports the less we save. This correlations has been known to exist by economists for years. These economists also say that the US savings is held by the foreign producer to be returned to the US in the future. Well the future is Now! Buy Made in the USA products!

One would think this would be a 'no-brainer' after all of the imported food recalls, illnesses, etc we have been having lately, not to mention the lead-paint toy issues. Why do we as consumers put up with this? I try to buy things made in America as often as possible but it becomes more difficult daily. As citizens, we can change this ourselves with buying power.
