‘Jobs’ in the US Presidential Election

‘Jobs’ in the US Presidential Election

Sun. Oct 9th 2016, written by Li-Chang Kuo
Advocating that ‘Creating New Industry for New Jobs’(創新產業解決失業) for three decades, ‘Jobs’ eventually became the most important theme in the US Presidential Election of 2016; ‘new jobs’, ‘good jobs’ have been come out during the campaign. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate said that “We will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one.” On behalf of the Republican presidential candidate-- Donald Trump said that “My economic agenda can be summed up in three powerful words: ‘Jobs, Jobs, Jobs’.”
Remember the first time to the United States in 1979, Customs officer in a despised tone questioned: “What purpose are you here?” I answered him immediately: “Create jobs.” He stunned for a moment, but soon his attitude changed at once, and said: “Welcome, welcome!” Indeed, I assisted my client to develop the products of ‘Satellite Receiver and Cable TV’ for achieving the prosperity in the coming 1980s, the era of President Reagan created 19 million new jobs, the Reaganomics also had been appeared to resolve America’s social dilemma that caused by the energy crisis in the 1970s-- the biggest problem was unemployment. Consequently, addressing the unemployment issue is inseparable from ‘creating new industry (innovative industry)'.
Due to foreseeing the future economic plague, so that initiated ‘social responsibility investment, SRI’ since the earlier 1980s, the investing pattern of SRI was based on the ‘public welfare’, and to take precautions for preparing the instrumental solution in order to have ability in responding the coming socio-issues. A new tech-economic system (TES) thus be invented, in which a lot of innovative industries can be developed by means of the applied science and technology, estimated to produce the business opportunities of USD 10 trillion, and that will be sufficient to cope with the  derivative disasters of economic plague.
Through various international conferences—includes the APEC, ‘TES’ was finally recognized and accepted; the flows of money, commodity, logistics and information in TES will accomplish the free movement of people, goods, services and capital to form a ‘Multilateral Trading System’; therefore, to win the bill of ‘E-Commerce’ at Kuala Lumpur APEC 1998 as we officially submitted our proposal which according to the ‘TES’, the industry of ‘Electronic Business’ had been shaped. Afterwards, in APEC 2003, we were addressing the needs of SME exporters to win the best practice of 'guidance of about 240 million people in the APEC Asian region who attempt to start a business each year'; and further also to help those emerging countries realizing how to use ‘Internet of Things, IoTs’ to support small and medium enterprises, to incubate nascent entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, for the sake of the inventor of TES was besieged furiously by Taiwan’s corrupt entities, those evildoers violated the international conventions, that result to delay the implementation of the planning of TES; the foreseeable economic plague really came in 2008 from Wall Street, New York to hit to the worldwide.
I was invited to contribute the way of ‘Rebuilding the Global Economy’ at APEC CEO Summit 2009 in Singapore, "How to implement TES?"—the question asked by the political and economic leaders. I replied that “To do pilot exercise in America.” And advocated that ‘IIA-TES’ (Invest in America for the Economic Stimulus), which was valued by the US delegates; however, America is a free country of bipartisan politics, is not what the president wants to do as his pleases, so the initiative of  ‘IIA-TES’  could not be implemented in time.
Until Sep. 27th, 2016, the first debate of US Presidential Election, ‘new jobs’, ‘good jobs’ were mentioned over 43 times; we can predict that second debate on the 9th day of October, ‘jobs’ must be a hot word in the venue. After all, work is the source of income, a good job to have good income and can have a stable life for the people; the society will be peace and happiness accordingly. But the entities of corruption are the culprit in producing unemployment. The thing of ‘Anti-corruption is concerning with job creation’ has been acknowledged consequently. So that those resistances of corruption among us must be eliminated in order to achieve the mission goal of job creation.

Jobs與美國總統大選

Jobs與美國總統大選

文/郭立昌
倡導「創新產業解決失業」三十年,2016年「Jobs」終於成為美國總統大選的最重要議題,「new jobs」、「good jobs」紛紛出籠。代表民主黨的總統候選人希拉蕊柯林頓(Hillary Clinton)說:「我們將建造一個『人人有工作』的經濟(we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one)。」代表共和黨的總統候選人唐納川普(Donald Trump)說:「我的經濟政見可總結為三個有力的字『工作、工作、工作』(my economic agenda can be summed up in three powerful words: ‘Jobs, Jobs, Jobs’)。」
猶記1979年第一次到美國時,海關官員以鄙視的語氣問:「你到這裡(指美國)是什麼目的?」立刻回答他:「創造工作(create jobs)!」他錯愕了一下,但態度隨即轉變,說:「歡迎,歡迎!」果然,我幫客戶開發的「衛星接收器及有線電視」產品,為隨之而來的1980年代帶來榮景,雷根時代創造了19百萬個新工作(new jobs),也出現了雷根經濟學,解決1970年代美國因石油危機造成的社會困境其中最大的就是失業問題。所以,解決失業與「創新產業」不可分割。
由於預見未來有經濟大災,因而在1980年代倡議「社會責任投資」,即以「公益」為主的投資模式,未雨綢繆,儲備回應社會問題的工具;於是發明了「新科技經濟系統」--簡稱「TES」,其中的應用科技可以發展出許多的創新產業,預估帶來10兆美元商機,足以應付經濟大災所衍生的問題。
經由各種國際會議的宣揚包括APECTES終於普獲認同及接受;TES中的「金流、商流、物流、資訊流」將促成人才、商品、勞務、資金快速流通,形成可多國參與的貿易系統(Multilateral Trading System),因而正式在1998年吉隆坡APEC提案時贏得「電子商務(E-Commerce)」法案,電商產業於焉成型。接著在2003年泰國APEC贏得「協助2.4億人創業之最佳實例」,也促使新興國家懂得運用物聯網(IoTs)協助成立中小企業,孵化新創業者。可惜,由於海島貪腐集團違反國際公約,強力圍剿TES的發明人,以至於延宕落實的期程。2008年果真經濟大災降臨,從美國紐約華爾街襲捲全球。
2009APEC領袖會議,受邀赴新加坡貢獻「重建全球經濟(Rebuilding the Global Economy)」之道,各國政經領袖詢問的仍是:「如何落實TES」筆者倡議的「IIA-TES(投資美國促成經濟復興,Invest in America for the Economic Stimulus)受到美國代表的重視;不過,美國是兩黨政治的民主國家,並非總統想做什麼就可以做什麼,所以造成IIA-TES的倡議無法及時執行。到了2016927總統候選人辯論會,「新工作」、「好的工作」被提出共有43次;109的辯論會,「jobs」想必仍然是火紅的詞。畢竟工作是收入的來源,有好的工作才有好的收入,才有穩定的生活,社會才會安和樂利。為達到使命目標,橫阻在中間的貪腐集團必須一一被翦除;因此,「反貪腐」的議題也逐漸被了解「與創造工作機會有關」。
