How do we get capitalism to provide enough jobs again so that government does not have to protect us?
Most people realize that our government would not have to spend if capitalism was providing enough jobs. That is the point of the stimulus plans, to protect the citizens. Now we can argue that the stimulus plan should of not been used and capitalism should of just failed to expose the problems with the system itself. But my heart and morals can`t just make me walk up to my neighbor and say you can`t go back to work with stimulus money because we have to prove a point.
By regulating it.
Leave it alone. It’ll take care of coming around all by itself as soon as we stop messing with it.
Example: Many animals live off of the results of other animals dying. GE and the US motor companies should be dead, and there should be many jobs created dismantling them. Instead, we’re paying billions of dollars to keep them on life support. I say, DNR – at least not with my money…

Capitalism cant provide jobs with 50% taxes.

The way to create jobs is to lower taxes on business instead of raising taxes on business. That way, they’re spending money on payroll instead of global warming research, STD research and health insurance for people who don’t work.

Free enterprise provides plenty of jobs. They just aren’t going to Americans. Look at the reasons for this exportation of jobs in order to see what needs to be done in the US.

First a few redistributive forms of legislation must be repealed or any effort will fail.
When the USA government entered private business, the entire economic system was altered.

Supply Side Reaganomics. Cut taxes and decreases the national deficit. Lower the federal debt and and cut spending on ridiculous stimulus packages and entitlement programs. Give money back to the consumers so that they can put it back into the market and stimulate businesses corporations and other institutions which employ people. The increased demand will stimulate said institutions to hire more out of necessity. Keneysian economics (basically what Obama has been doing) has continually failed throughout history yet politicians try to use it as a short cut. We need supply side Reaganomics. Leave the free market alone government!!

You got it the other way around. Capitalism would provide enough jobs if our government was not spending so much .

We have to get the government to stop meddeling in the economy. Stop the stimulus spending because history has proven it doesn’t work! For the most recent example of this simply look at Japan’s lost decade which happened in the 1990’s! The suffered an asset bubble and embarked on several expensive stimulus plans which initially got a slight short rebound but then double dipped into a much deeper recession that lasted more than 12 years!
Here is an exerpt from an NPR article (the link is listed below)
Another lesson from Japan: Don’t try to spend your way out of an economic trough. Japan ramped up government spending on public works projects, including bridges and river "improvement" programs that literally lined many waterways with cement. But it didn’t work, and today the only evidence of this spending binge is the ugly slabs of cement that mar the Japanese countryside.
In other ways, though, the U.S. is more vulnerable than Japan was in the 1990s. Japan has one of the highest savings rates in the world; the U.S. among the lowest. Japanese consumers, flush with savings, maintained virtually the same rates of consumption throughout the 1990s. American consumers have no such savings to draw upon — and, in fact, carry heavy debt loads — including debt accrued through home equity loans.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
