PREDATORY PRICING
DUMPING = LOWBALLING

DRIVES
US small BUSINESS BANKRUPT OR OVERSEAS

WHEN US business person is considering ing starting new businesses. The odds of failure are stacked against them. The mere threat of predatory fThe USA permitted foreign competitors unrestricted [open] access to our lucrative market. These foreign nations did not reciprocate. They disallowed, constrained, and thwarted equivalent access and entry to their markets. They created ingeniously barriers [unfair trade practices ] to US goods amounting to FOREIGN PROTECTIONISM.

Meanwhile, the same nations abused our generosity damaging our domestic markets; and, the entirety of the US economy. Foreign corporations attacked our underbelly. They lowball-priced American-made goods "dumping" cheap slave-waged imports; priced even below their cost.

Imperceptibly, one U.S. industry after another; either, failed; or, capitulated ("surrendered") substantial U.S. market share. Others were driven into bankruptcy, sometimes with the indignity of assets sold at auction for pennies on the dollar. Other threatened businesses , without any other option, simply sold assets and market share. Moreover, business owners blamed themselves for failure; unaware they were victims of illegal monopolistic frauds and scams. As a result, foreign nations secured dominant shares of one US market after another. Thereafter, they maintained monopolistic control continuing to sell cheap imports. They recovered their low-balling DUMPING LOSSES by inflating US prices. The consumer must pay the inflated monopoly price. No other competitive price exists.

Worse yet, this domestic predatory environment panics small businessmen from even consider
  Foreign competition annihilates new US domestic investment. The record is replete with examples of one new U.S. fledgling business after another - are snuffed out in infancy before gaining a foothold in US market share.

This unabated, systematic state of affairs leaves one alternative. Manufacturers are forced to export manufacturing - compelled to abandon the American economy. The USA no longer exports American-made goods. Instead, it exports manufacturing to produce goods by immorally exploiting slave-waged - even child labor. So, entire American industries are exported. The goods produced are shipped back to the US charged at American Prices.

The result? Bluntly, consumers do not buy expensive American-made goods. Therefore, American companies can no longer compete in the American economy. Remaining US. manufacturers barely survive. Finding American-made goods is becoming virtually impossible. However, the most disturbing fact is: US Small Business provides most new well-paying American jobs.

Yes. Domestic and foreign predatory pricing practices are illegal. They violate Federal and State Anti-Trust laws - and FTC regulations. But, these laws, are rarely, if ever, enforced by government. Why? You decide for yourself.

DISASTROUS
ONE-WAY "UN-FREE" TRADE AGREEMENTS

TRADE MEANS

THE IDIOT TRADE DOCTRINE
AN IDIOT TRADES GOODS
WITHOUT RECEIVING ANYTHING IN RETURN


TRADE occurs when two parties do commerce. Buying and selling seeking the best bargain. A skilled negotiator contracts a profitable commercial or trade agreement. This is a "Quid Pro Quo." I give you this; and, in return, you give me that. This is known as doing business. The business of America is business. [Calvin Coolidge]

The same is true negotiating Foreign Trade Agreements. Each government makes, accepts or rejects offers to buy, sell, or exchange goods and services. They believe this will create WEALTH - prosperity for their country.

Historically, our bilateral /multilateral agreements were mutually beneficial. Usually, we made a profit, called a trade surplus. A loss is called a trade deficit. Trade deficits enraged our Founding Fathers. Heads rolled as treasonous accusations bellowed throughout The Land.

As unbelievable as it sounds, since the 1940s, the intent of our bilateral/multilateral trade became distorted. Modern trade surpluses are no longer the goal. Today, THE IDIOT TRADE DOCTRINE reigns unchallenged. The store is being given away; contrary to our constitutional command to provide for the General Welfare. Behind closed doors, our country's "representatives" enthusiastically contract away our wealth. All participants are assured a benefit; except us. We give and give, but we do not get. In return, we receive a bag of air.

Trade has transformed from a prosperous enterprise into a bankrupt foreign policy. Its new mission - to buy the allegiance of faithless allies. With grandiosity, we selected powder-puff allies who allegedly shared our ideals. As long as we paid. Benevolently we granted them Most-Favored-Nation-Status. Code words for an economic advantage damaging to our self-interest. Sure, I will be your friend and ally, if you pay me. Like lonely children, we tried to buy friends using toys as carrots. Only to discover fair-weathered friends are nowhere to be found during a raging storm.

THE IDIOT TRADE DOCTRINE

facilitated globalization. Passage of one disadvantageous, ill-advised, feigned-"FREE" TRADE agreement after another was applauded. This mindlessness persists to our unending misfortune. Illustrated by unsuccessful NAFTA, WTO; and, now CAFTA. Without reasonable restraint, we adamantly export our wealth. [See: The condition of our Merchant Marine.] No longer are we a viable trading nation, rather we transport our industrial base to our competitors. We are a buyer, no longer a seller nation. Soon nothing American-made will remain to be traded. That is not good business, because no business exists. Business is no longer the business of America; greed is. All is not well in "The Land of Bounty." She is deteriorating. As GM goes, so goes America. But, GM is losing its leading market share to the Japanese. Hello???

Satire and sarcasm aside, all this relentlessly ravaged US industry, business, labor; and, especially, the Great Taxpaying Middle-Class. Without objection, debate or deliberation by elected officials. Such malfeasance desecrates every sound principle of governance. It is time to reprimand such misconduct. Negligent elected officials, who sanctioned this, must be censured. If necessary, removed in disgrace. Why? We employ elected officials, compensated with our taxes, to protect our economic and financial best interests. Not to be Judas traders.

One economist observes, "We have lost our way! Current Globalization is the scatter-gun approach. The product of mindless scatter-brained people. Irrationally panicked Business is fleeing overseas - outsourcing and exporting The America, we so love. A short-term neurotic impulse, devoid of reason. Certain to cause precipitous economic degeneration - societal suicide." Ergo, we are entrapped. Confronting the grave predicament of impending fiscal and economic collapse within our lifetime.

THE PSEUDO-FREE TRADE DOCTRINE
DOGMA?

THE IDIOT TRADE DOCTRINE

is satirical hyperbole to awaken readers to national self-deception regarding THE PSEUDO-FREE TRADE DOCTRINE. To expose self-evident fallacies in alleged free trade. It is neither free; nor is it trade. Not free. USA goods are denied fair market entry in first-world countries. Which, blatantly, practice protectionist barriers to trade. It is not trade. One-way street trade is not trade. No trade bargain exists. The USA [The American People] does not receive a fair reciprocal commercial return. Trade in essence means two- way trade. Our $600 Billion trade deficit proves free trade is non-existent.

Economics is not religion founded upon dogma. Instead, science based upon finite analysis of wealth creation. Usually by the negotiated interchange of goods and services etc. Economics objectively quantifies commercial facts equating the wealth reality for all. Bluntly, "How much, and who got it." Esoteric illusions, impracticalities and ambiguities [i.e. THE PSEUDO-FREE TRADE DOCTRINE] have no place in economics. Yet, our economists and officialdom adhere to this doctrine as religious devotees. Therein resides the problem. Our purpose is to shock academia and officialdom into awareness free trade is unsustainable in modern times. Even Ricardo's historical standards no longer pass strict scrutiny. Bluntly. today, the global free trade paradigm is unscientific Pollyannaish pseudo-optimism bordering on the absurd . Therefore, we designate it with the prefix "pseudo."
Our point is: this paradigm must be discarded. Replaced by a pragmatic, reciprocal enforceable
and equitable new paradigm. Our suggestion, [presented only as an academic starting point] recommends what we term "Free- Fair-Mutually-Balanced Trade."

This paradigm must include three principles:
(1) free and unrestricted reciprocal access to the trading partners market.
(2) the trade agreement must be mutually-fair giving partners an equitable chance to achieve a wealth benefit.
(3) the agreement must be balanced. One party cannot possess leverage injurious the another's economic interest.


Mutual enforcement mechanisms must be created to achieve these ideals. We suggest three concepts:

(1) TRADE SUSPENSION - If trade between parties reaches an injurious imbalance (Triggering an unfair trade deficit), then trade is immediately but temporarily suspended. One Example of deficit imbalance is: the unacceptable unreasonable USA trade deficit [over $100 Billion] with China.

(2) The suspension would activate mandatory renegotiation of the agreement.


(3) If and when an equitable readjustment and rebalance is achieved, then trade would resume.

At the heart of all trade agreements must be one unwavering principle - trust. Mutual trust based upon flexibility. To maintain international trade
goodwill, all agreements must remain open-ended. Permitting equitably adjustments to meet the dictates of a changing global marketplace. Our primary objective is to reasonably stem the devastating effects of globalization. Which is ravaging on our wealth, national security and our middle-class. Nevertheless, we believe our recommendations go far toward creating global fair trade, peace and goodwill

Discovery Launch Photo courtesy of NASA

Following two delayed attempts, Discovery was successfully launched at 2:37:55 p.m. EDT at Kennedy Space Center marking NASA’s first-ever shuttle flight to leave Earth on Independence Day. The successful mission helps pave the way for the future of space missions and entrepreneurship. Space spending has climbed to $50 billion a year worldwide, according to Business 2.0.

NASA's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) mission is to "fully integrate small, small disadvantaged, and women owned small businesses into the competitive base of contractors from which NASA regularly purchases goods and services and urge NASA's prime contractors to do so in their subcontracting activities." During 2004, NASA awarded a total of $847 million to women owned small businesses; $323 million in prime contracting and $524 million in subcontracting. An opportunity for small business to gain a piece of the space market.

It Only Takes Five
Five minutes. It doesn't seem like enough time to make a difference in our daily, multi-tasked, business lives. For Rosa Say, author of Managing with Aloha, five minutes helped make greater employee connections.

    "We instinctively knew we could manage better the more intimately we knew those we managed. ‘Ike loa became the birthplace of a core standard we initiated with all managers called "The Daily Five Minutes.” It started as an experiment, and it was so effective that it became non-negotiable as a habit my managers were required to cultivate and practice daily. It is a simple habit: Each day, without fail, managers are to give five minutes of no-agenda time to at least one of their employees."

If your still in doubt of how five laser-focused minutes can impact your small business, take to heart this quote from John C. Maxwell's book Success One Day at a Time:

    Napoleon wrote that the reason he beat the Austrians was that they did not know the value of five minutes. It took Lincoln less than five minutes to deliver his immortal Gettysburg Address. It took William Jennings Bryan less than five minutes to electrify a great political convention with but a single expression that gave him the nomination for the presidency of the United States. (George Matthew Adams)

Small Business Going to the Dogs
Every weekday small business owners head off to work, reluctantly reassuring their furry canine friends they will be back. For others, life at work means having a little canine companionship. According to The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association survey of working adults, nearly one in five U.S. companies allows pets at work.

Pets have positive effects on human health and productivity. A study of high stressed stockbrokers at the State University of New York discovered reduced stress levels for pet-owning brokers on high blood pressure medication. The simple act of petting a dog increases the stress reducing hormones of the brain. It's just what the Vet can order to help your staff handle the stress of cold-calling, deal with tough customer relations, or improve your workplace creativity. If your office doesn't allow dogs, consider Pet Sitters International's Take Your Dog to Work Day on June 23rd.

Creating the Next Mr. Peanut

For 100 years Planters Peanuts has successfully used the mascot Mr. Peanut to make their brand special. Mr. Peanut was created by 14 year old Anthony Gentile in 1916 as part of a contest. This year peanut fans have a chance to vote on creating a new look for the long-standing mascot.

Mascot marketing can be even more relevant to stand out today in a crowded marketplace. In an attention deficit society creating a memorable image in the minds of your target audience is critical. Adding a fictional character to be your company spokesperson can benefit your visibility in several ways:

# Create media exposure for your business
# Boost brand recognition
# Add promotional tie-in opportunities and more sales

Small business has much to gain from using a low cost marketing method of employing a company mascot. Husband-and-wife team Wally and June Blume, of Denali Flavors built an $85 million dollar business on their "spokes-moose" for the brand Moose Tracks. The Moose Tracks character even has his own blog. Don't expect a mascot to save a failing business as witnessed when the Pets.com sock puppet became road kill during the Internet market meltdown. As co-author, Al Ries of "The Fall of Advertising and The Rise of PR" points out, the sock puppet was confusing the advertising with the product. Companies need to clearly know the role of their mascot. "The Bunny didn't make Energizer famous. Energizer made the Bunny famous," say Ries.

A "Fatherpreneur"
One commonly held belief of starting your own business is you have to sacrifice family time because of the demanding hours of ownership. In fact, nearly 80 percent of the entrepreneurs surveyed by Business.com reported that they had more or the same amount of time with their families despite the challenges of starting and running their own businesses. Only 21.6 percent said they had less time.

My decision to leave the corporate life once again and enter into small business was based on the birth of my daughter over 10 years ago. After flying around on 200 flights a year and being stuck in the St. Paul airport while my wife went into labor (false labor pains ... thankfully) I realized I wanted more control over my work and life. My path to being a "fatherpreneur" has lead to greater balance, added success, and most importantly, a chance to be a father to my kids. Being a "fatherprenuer" is one of the greatest gifts a dad can give to his family.

Leveraging Customer Interactions
Taking advantage of the opportunity to understand your customer interactions helps learn more to best serve their needs and outflank your competitors. Using the tools of technology such as a database can aid in sorting out the patterns to greater profits or as Ramon Ray of Smallbiztechnology.com blog says,

    "Databases are one of the most important things your business can utilize to ensure that you really know your customers, satisfy their needs, and thus grow your business with repeat customers."

Ray highlights how Tesco PLC of Britain has been able to have double the market share of Wal-Mart through the use of customer databases linked to a "Clubcard." Think this is only for big business? As a small business you have the upper hand to get to know your customers more so than the big corporation. Or as Ray states "You are a small business and not multi-billion dollar Tesco however, the principles of how you can use a database to grow your business are the same.

Where Have all the Angel Investors Gone?
Jeffrey Sohl, professor of entrepreneurship at the UNH Center for Venture Research recently highlighted in a release the current angel market conditions:

    "While angels are not abandoning seed and start-up investing, it appears that market conditions, and the preferences of large formal angel alliances, are resulting in angels engaging in more later-stage investments. New, first sequence, investments represent 70 percent of 2005 angel activity, indicating that some of this post seed investing is in new deals. This shift in investment strategies toward post seed investments reduces the proportional amount of seed and start-up capital. This restructuring of the angel market has in turn resulted in fewer dollars available for seed investments, thus exacerbating the capital gap for seed and start-up capital in the United States."

This isn’t a seismic change in the market, as start-ups have always had to rely on bootstrapping. Barry Moltz co-founder of Prairie Angels feels a mistake made by most entrepreneurs is searching for angel investors money at the wrong time. Funding a start-up for the majority of North American businesses comes from the founder's own pocket not from angel investors. Apply the four F's for money sources for your start-up: founder, family, friends, and fools. Angels help bridge the gap between seed money and venture capital. Learn more on "Time to Find an Angel Investor."
