?appreciate anything that will help the current economy, but I have noticed is that no one on this task force is middle class. Many have not been part of the middle class, ever, so what do they know of our daily challenges? As member of the middle class, I have decided that these issues need to be addressed by someone who is middle class. Since, I am not someone to complain without providing a solution; I have put together a short list of ideas that will help ease the burden for the average American. Stop NAFTA - Make it harder for businesses to out source our jobs. NAFTA stands for the North American Free Trade Agreement. It has been in effect for the last decade and in that time, it has certainly helped our South and North American neighbors get jobs, but I have not seen how this agreement has helped the average U.S. citizen. I have even looked for statistical data to disprove my belief that NAFTA has helped major corporations easily move to other countries, marginalize Unions and to lower the wages of the average U.S. worker. I found nothing to disprove what I believed. NAFTA has weakened our unions and many corporations have left this country for lower labor costs. Out sourcing has become so commonplace that you cannot call a customer service desk and find an U.S. citizen helping you on the other end. If you do not believe me, try it yourself. We have outsourced ourselves out of jobs!It is time we stopped worrying about other countries and start taking care of our own. Let's get out of NAFTA and make it harder for corporations to get tax breaks and bailouts without having a REAL interest in the welfare of this country. They need to reinvest in the USA and not just Wall Street.Help the Middle Class Now!
