Increase Manufacturing in America

Increase the manufacturing of non-food consumer products in America

One manufacturing facility with 500 employees from senior management to maintenance can contribute as much as $10,000 worth of wages per hour ($87.6 million per year) to a local economy. This puts small businesses in a position to expand, new businesses to start and grow, local services like firefighters, police, libraries, schools are funded with local tax-dollars without increasing local or state taxes or getting more federal help by taxing the middle-class and small businesses.



With that said, since the 1990s U.S. non-food consumer product manufacturers have received free trade agreements with 20 countries, trillions of dollars in tax breaks, loopholes and subsidies every year to relocate offshore. Over 60% of non-food consumer products are imported by U.S. based corporations. Over 5 million Americans have lost their jobs because of these FTA?s and financial incentives.
