Muscatine

Question...

How we gonna keep anyone here? Attract jobs? How we gonna attract new industries here when they all want to open in China or Mexico? No matter how many tax breaks we give 'em, they still have to pay wages. no one I know will work for fifty cents a day. Why build more entertainment facilities when fewer people have less money to spend on entertainment? If young'uns want to leave, let 'em go. It's about the same everywhere. Join the military. They need you and combat pay adds up if you are single.

Ruggy my man



you ask some very ligit questions. QUOTE: ''How we gonna attract new industries here when they all want to open in China or Mexico?'' I think at this point the better question would be how we going to keep what we have? Hon has to be looking at Mexico as they slobber all over themselfs.(not an insult) The savings for a company this size would be huge. How we going to keep them?

As for attracking new business, I think we must first face the fact you already pointed out. We are no longer a industrial nation. We are a service nation. In short we buy and sell the goods people make.

Knowing this I feel maybe we should focus our efforts into raising the pay of the service fields and creating more oppertunities with in those fields.

Or just close our boarders.

Peace

Just had to...

jump in here. Those are the sort of things I've been running my campaign on. I don't have the kind of money everyone else does to tell the entire town about it, but I'd love to get these sort of things in Muscatine. Everyone goes out of town to do anything, and it's really unfortunate.

yeah

If you give ideas, I'll certainly read them - I'm open to anything that can help better Muscatine.
