"The Get America Working! approach would work, in effect, by correcting a major price distortion. The current U.S. Internal Revenue Code taxes employment far more heavily than it does the use of natural resources. This distortion has grown progressively worse as payroll taxes have grown. Revising this distortion would increase employment, equity and overall economic vigor importantly. And it would do so by responding to market price signals, not through clumsy and expensive government interventions."

    Get America Working!
    Summary: 
    The goal of Get America Working! is to find structural ways to increase job creation many fold. Creating more jobs would give currently unemployed persons the choice to work, which would have the effect of boosting economic growth, reducing dependency costs, and diminishing many of the social ills our society faces.
