What's Important

The President of the US is the CEO of a 300 million person company. The first question each American should ask is which candidate would best represent you as the CEO of your company, the US of America. Employees of GE didn’t care if Jack Welch was pro-life or pro-choice, in favor of gay marriage, or in favor of stem-cell research. Employees cared about safety in the work place, compensation, and opportunity of advancement.

How do these three relate to the Presidential election? Safety in the work place directly relates to the safety of the country. The federal government has evolved to include everything under the sun, but defending the country should still be the #1 priority. Obama’s view is to use diplomacy at all costs, and use force as the last option. McCain’s view is to show force and intimidate those who threaten our nation. Whatever your view, defense of the country should be the main priority.

Compensation entails many factors, at least in this context. The success of the company, ability to remain employed, and the ability of the CEO to grow the company are all factors that impact employees’ compensation. Our President should have the ability to increase the attractiveness of doing business in the US. This is important because no matter what each candidate tells you, jobs are going to continue to go overseas. The way to increase jobs in the US is to get international business to come to the US. The President should also keep employees happy by efficiently and effectively managing the budget (i.e., same number of government programs, with lower taxes).

The final area is the opportunity for advancement. We are living in a global economy. The President needs to make US citizens understand this. High school education will not be enough to get a job in the future. Those jobs are going overseas and will not return. We are competing with Mr. Smith, Ms. Ta, Mr. Singh, and Ms. Rodriguez. If you read my blog, Role of Parents they are not “fat people”. Though the US is separated from the other major economies of the world by oceans on each side, we are not an island. We can no longer operate in such a manner if we want to remain the best nation on earth. Voting for the candidate that most effectively manages the three issues above, will ensure our continued success.
