Rewarding publicly held companies for reducing their workforce promotes more job loses on the back of very same people who have contributed to the success of the company. There should be a moritorum for Wall street not to be able to invest trade shares of companies that layoff employees. There should also be a celing for profit taking for companies on an annual basis as well... We currently have a Capitalism Gone Wild in this country and it is impacting job creation.
On another note, there should be laws to end distributing social Security to people who become premanent residant or cizten. There are alot of ethnic groups, chinese, Korean, Iranian and etc... who have come to this country lie about their belonging and benefit from getting SS and privileges in this country...
