Reference: City Council

S. Hayes Inc is a grass root non-profit economic organization in Tulsa.  First, we congratulate the City of Tulsa and State of Oklahoma for taking up the battle to restore the economic sovereignty of our country.  Laws and legislations to restrict illegals is a positive step toward regaining control of our economy.  An economic puzzle has developed in the system.  This puzzle has a direct relationship to the future decline in city, country and state revenue.  Our economy puzzle has two prominent economic participants.  They are the economy expansion (especially jobs creation) and the declining manufacturing base.  Each year the economy add millions of jobs and the declining manufacturing base has lost over 10 million jobs.  The gap in production of merchandise to fill our consumer's consumption has widened.  Eventually, the excess amount has fueled the increased trade deficit.  Since 1976, the total amount spent on the current account-trade deficit is 14 trillion dollars.  This 14 trillion dollars is the same size as America's entire GDP for 2006.  Our current

account-trade deficit has weakened the economic base.  Now, it is starting to affect other parts of the system.  There is a direct correlation between the prominent economic participant (declining manufacturing base) and the system creating negative economic children.  Several negative economic children were created to continue the economic expansion.

To date, the negative economic children created are 1. The trade deficit 2. Federal government deficit 3. Outsourcing of jobs other than manufacturing 4. Illegals 5. Federal Reserve 6. Aggressive and tremendous amounts of foreign investments 7. Falling dollar 8. Falling interest rate or higher than normal interest rates 9. Increase size of asset bubbles and 10. Increase debt.  As the negative economic children grow, they become as big of an economic problem as their dominant parent (the declining manufacturing sector) does.  Together, they have started to kill off the other parent (job creation).  We have witness two of the children become economic adults (the trade deficit and Illegals).  Now, they are creating havoc in the entire system.  In the upcoming severe slowdown (recession) several of the children will grow and reap havoc through the system.  They are 1. Federal government deficit 2. Falling or sharp rise in interest rate 3.  Falling dollar 4. Declining foreign investments 5. Consumer debt.  Because it is more appropriate for this period in history.  The word (slowdown) is used.  The economy slowdown will last 20 to 25 years.  Even after a severe slowdown (recession) the economy will never rebound to hit on all eight cylinders.  In the first quarter of the 21st century, the negative economic children and their dominant parent (declining manufacturing base) will assure the permanent slowdown of the economy. 

From 1983 to the present, the federal government has borrowed an average of 300 billion dollars a year to keep our economy growing.  Now, we require foreign investments of 3 billion dollars a day to keep the system expanding.  The number one point of debate in America should be AMERICA LOSES MONEY FOR ONE $50,000 JOB EVERY TWO SECOND THROUGH THE CURRENT ACCOUNT-TRADE DEFICIT (One thousand one, one thousand two we just lost money for one $50,000 job through the current account-trade deficit.  If it takes 5 minutes to read our letter, America will have lost money for one hundred and fifty $50,000 jobs via the trade deficit.

In order to replace this tremendous exodus of capital from the system, we depend on foreign investments from foreign investors, governments, and banks.  After the financial sector created losses of 100's of billions of dollars to foreign investors, they are starting to with draw their investments.  The Federal Reserve keeps lowering the interest.  The rest of the world has started to abandon the dollar.   With a huge current account, the Federal Reserve will make decisions on which segments of the economy to protect.  For the consumer the first quarter of the 21st century is slow growth, falling dollar, recession after recession, increase size of asset bubbles, falling interest rate or higher than normal interest rates and inflated or deflated consumer prices.

Attached is a copy of our letter from S. Hays Inc website (www.tradecrisis.org) dated Jan.10, 1995 to Mayor Susan Savage explaining the central part of S. Hayes Inc economic proposal. A second attachment describes S. Hayes proposal for a pilot program in Tulsa to attack the trade deficit. The centerpiece of our proposal is a 1/4 Cent city sales tax.  Before a manufacturing company leaves Tulsa or Oklahoma to relocate Oklahoma's jobs to a foreign country we suggest an offer to the company to locate into low-income area in Tulsa.  Our economic program will keep jobs in Tulsa and Oklahoma. The company will pay taxes. The employees will fulfill obligations to their families and the community. A bi-product of our proposal will be to assist the economic revitalization of the inner city.  In a recession, the city will be able to create jobs and businesses in low-income areas.  There will be additional tax revenue.  One of the most important economic principles is the need to increase money turnover in low income.  In the slowdown economic environment of the 21st century,  one of Tulsa economic goals should be to increase the turnover of money in low income and the city.  This will increase community stability.  Increasing the money turnover ratio in low income will increase jobs, reunite the family structure and reduce crime.

S. S. Hayes Inc economic program includes any manufacturing company leaving the U.S., companies who want to bring some or all of their jobs back to the U.S.   If foreign manufacturing companies are paying 50 cents an hour and the U.S. company in Oklahoma is paying $10 an hour, the City of Tulsa will pay $9.50 per hour per employee from our 1/4-cent city sales tax to the manufacturing company.  We will match the salary paid in any foreign country.  If they are paying 25 cents an hour, we will match the difference hour per hour per employee.  Our economic program will require the finish product is competitive in price with imports.  This is a theory only. We We need a city to test our theory. There are two roads to follow. One is down the present road to future economic instability or institute new economic theories.  What are the results of revitalizing the manufacturing sector in America?

After we balance our trade deficit and recapture the 800 billion dollars leaving our country each year.  I have my wish list:  1. funding social security for decades 2. Universal health care 3. Revitalization of America infra structure 4. Attack Global-warming 5. Update schools (especially in mathematic and science) 6. Balancing the federal government budget and start to pay down the national debt.

Our program will be limited to mom and pop manufacturing plants with 1000 or fewer employees.

In a slow down economic environment, security should be the number one priority.  The slow down will increase crime, decrease social and moral ethics and increase the possibilities of terrorist attacks.  In the brave new 21st century, we need to know who is in Tulsa.  There are 10,000's of illegals and numerous individuals with out of date visas.  The City is wide open.  Regardless of the cost, the police department should be place at the top of the city budget.  They should be given the work force and equipments to secure our city.  We suggest switching the police department from the 19th and 20th century mode of a police force to a 21st century police-security force.

Reference: Trade Deficit and Jobs Creation

The S. Hayes Inc is a non-profit organization in Tulsa, Oklahoma tracking the trade deficit and its relation to the economy. We have been organized since 1983. The reason for writing is in reference to reading the AFL-CIO web site presentation at the Industrial Council Legislative Conference on February 4, 2003. It is apparent the AFL-CIO economic agenda is basically the same as our goals for economic restoration of the economy. We learned several new economic ideas from your presentation. Therefore, S. Hayes Inc is sending the AFL-CIO several economic ideas from our web site that have not been expressed in the media which we believe are vital to the average American worker survival in the 21st century. Enclosed are two documents and a ball cap. The attach brochure was printed in 1999 forecasting the recession of 2001. S. Hayes Inc. is distributing this same brochure in 2004. The reason is to separate our organization from other economists or economic groups who call the last recession in advance. We call two recessions back to back on our attach brochure from 1999. In our brochure S. Hayes Inc. have several ambitious goals for our local and national economic agenda.

This is a grass root campaign to assist the average man and help America restore its sovereignty and economic commitments to every citizen. The second recession,a trade deficit led recession, is upcoming . When will it arrive? No one knows but the principles economic underlying factors are now beginning to form. In 1999, our brochure was geared more for the upcoming recession than the previous recession. The enclosed brochure talks more explicit about the falling dollar and its consequences.

The second attachment is a letter to the Whitehouse stating our position on a long term economic revitalization program for the inner city and the trade deficit. Our center piece is reinventing the manufacturing sector in the inner cities across America and eliminating the trade deficit. We will help stabilize the inner city and the economy.

S. Hayes Inc have a plan but we do not have muscle.

To: The Church

Reference: Jobs creation

The S. Hayes Inc is a non-profit economic organization in Tulsa establish to track the trade deficit and its relation to the economy. S. Hayes Inc was organized in Tulsa in 1993. The reason for writing is to share information concerning an economic puzzle and crisis facing Tulsa, our state and country.

The first attachment is a letter wrote February 2001. S. Hayes Inc mailed this letter to 700 churches in the Tulsa area. In our letter we warned the church of an upcoming recession, the trade deficit and the added expense of a prolong down turn in our economy. Now, after 3 years S Hayes Inc believe the picture is clearer concerning our jobs and the future of our children's jobs.

Our organization goal is to provide another economic option to every home and business in Tulsa and across America to create jobs and help secure our children future. We ask the city council in March of 2003 a question and our organization ask this question to everyone. Tulsa and Oklahoma and the USA lost 500 billion dollars last year (5 cent on every dollar produce in America during 2003)to the trade deficit. This money had to be replace before the end of 2003 in order for the economy or GDP to grow. And the question is. "Where did the 500 billion come from to replace the money lost to the trade deficit in 2003"?. Where will the approximately $500 billion dollars come from this year? The money came from layoffs, jobs creation money, schools- teachers cuts, city budget cuts, and state budget cuts. The Trade Deficit replacement money (year after year) is extracted from the weakest part of our economic system in Tulsa, across America, excessive Federal government borrowing and the Federal Reserve. In Tulsa and across America we are dismantling our infrastructure to pay for day to day needs. Our questions are. Question 1. How economically strong are Tulsa and Oklahoma and the United States of America? Question 2. How long can the Federal government keep borrowing money to keep the economy going? Question 3. The No.1 economic question about our economy is who will win between the global economic order forcing the dollar depreciation to slow our consumption and a recession or the Federal government borrowing more money (on top of our 7 trillion dollars debt and climbing) trying to keep the economy running?

Our organization propose Tulsa use public money to increase the manufacturing sector in our city. Tulsa will create real tangible jobs for our workers and at the same time help America restore our economic sovereignty and commitment to each citizen.

If China or Japan start unloading America government bonds on the world market tomorrow morning what will happen? Do we want to live like this or leave our children living with this economic shotgun to America's head? And of course America no longer control its economic destiny. The federal government, Federal Reserve or G-7 can not save us in the future. Our living standard will be control by the world economic order evaluation of the American dollar. The longer Tulsa and Oklahoma and America wait to adjust to cheap labor from around the world; the more Tulsa workers will fall out of the economic system. Therefore, city revenues will be hard to estimate from one year to the next year. We can do our part to help stop the outsourcing of America's jobs by creating merchandise to sell here and abroad. This will cut down on the trade deficit. We will have to cut back our consumption or increase our manufacturing sector to compete against the global economic order cheap labor. If left unchecked the continued huge trade deficit replacement money (year after year) significantly endanger the American way of life. At the present time in Tulsa , in Oklahoma and across America we are losing money for one ($36,000) job every TWO SECONDS via the trade deficit.

Reference: City Budget

The S. Hayes Inc. is a non-profit organization in Tulsa set up to track the trade deficit and its relation to the economy. Our reason for writing is to share vital information concerning the primary reason for our city budget cuts this year and for many years to come. The two documents attached are the Gross Domestic Product figures from 2000-2002 and the current account quarterly figures since 1995.

The net export of goods and services are running a negative balances and imported goods are increasing every year. If added together the negative trade deficit figures from January 1, 2000 until the first quarter of 2003 total I trillion 2 hundred and sixty three billions dollar of America's value. This is 12% of 2002 GDP. (Every two seconds America lose money for one job.) The trade deficit for the 1st quarter of 2003 is 125 billion dollars. If we do not have a severe turndown in 2003 our trade deficit will be 500 billion dollars. This will be 130 billion dollars more than the projected federal government deficit increase of 370 billion. One big difference is the federal government deficit increase is applied to the economy. The majority of our trade deficit dollars will leave America forever. Some economists say foreign investments will keep our economy going but Line 8 on the gross domestic product BEA chart show a 12% decrease in foreign investment since January 1, 2000.

Enclosed attachment is the quarterly current accounts figures. This account is where the trade deficit figures are kept. The trade deficit make up about 87% of the current account. The current account negative increase coincide with the recession. Each 100 billion dollars of the current account represent 1% of the GDP. In 2002 the trade deficit was 435 billion dollars which is 4.3% of the GDP and the economy only grew at 2.4%. The trade deficit is growing twice as fast as the GDP. Potentially, the Trade Deficit could be the most dangerous economic crisis in America since the civil war. Our economy is built on consumer spending and the more we spend the bigger the trade deficit become and thus driving the economy backward and into a negative GDP. If we do not have a severe down turn this year the current account will reach 560 billions which is 5.6% of the GDP which will slow the GDP even more. Last year money for 9 million jobs left Tulsa and Oklahoma and the USA. If we do not have a severe turndown this year, money for 10,600,000 jobs will leave America and most of it will never return.

This is a very severe long term economic problem for Tulsa for Oklahoma and across the USA. How long will it take to correct? We say 25 to 30 years. Mainly, because denial of the trade deficit as the primary economic reason for job losses and states budgets shortfall across America. The No.1 issue for the City of Tulsa is to come out of denial concerning the real enemy (the trade deficit) before it start to cut this year budget. We believe it is hypocritical to cut a city budget and do not stand up against the real economic reason why you are cutting someone’s job or salary. The city council will be cutting every year or every other year for 25-30 years. The City administration need to invent new ways of maintaining city service instead of the old 20th century concept of cutting services and rank and file wages. We need to maintain the fire department and police department at their present level and salaries. Also, the Police officers on the streets should be increase by gradually increasing hiring to combat an increasing rate of crime. If the last two years are any indications of job losses, it is uncertain how many individuals will be unemployed in 2010,2015 or 2020. The increase crime rate and a continuous weaken American economy will bring an increase danger of terrorism to Tulsa.

We need a public official to stand up and lead the charge on the trade deficit and state publicly "The trade deficit is the number one economic threat to Tulsa, to Oklahoma and to our country and our first priority is to increase manufacturing in the city."

Reference:  Trade Imbalance of United States

The S. Hayes Inc is a non-profit economic group in Tulsa, Oklahoma.   In 1983 we developed an economic program  to help reduce the trade deficit of the United States of  America but it became apparent the same program could be use to assist the economic revitalization of the inter-city.

Attach are 2 documents explaining in detail our program.  We are in the process of writing city government officials across America seeking a city for our pilot program to be install.

We believe the trade deficit economic danger to America is being totally underestimated. As we write mayors and city council members across America, we are sending the enclosed economic chart showing the acceleration of the the trade deficit since 1998. The trade deficit and current account negative balance is the long term reason why the economy has stop growing.  Each year the economy will pay out 435 billion dollars or more before the GDP can start to increase.

We need to bring the trade deficit issue to the forefront .

To: Mayor Susan Savage

Reference:  Low Income Economic Opportunities

In reference to recent events in America and the direction of main stream America focal point.  We believe now is the time to ask the city council in a public letter to address a viable option in regard to low income.  We ask your support and the city council support for  a citywide referendum in Tulsa for an additional permanent 1/4 cent sales tax to help attract or develop manufacturing into low income areas of Tulsa,  The best return and the most bang for the buck is to establish manufacturing in low-income areas.  What will happen with several manufacturing plants in low income areas?

 (1)  Resurgence of the family structure
 (2)  Increased small business development
 (3)  Increased money turnover ratio will help community and Tulsa stability
 (4)  Reduction in city services expenses
 (5)  Increased city tax base
 (6)  Increased county tax base
 (7)  Increased state tax base
 (8)  Increased federal tax base
 (9)  Reduction in crime
(10) Reduction in homeless problem
(11) Increased church attendance
(12) Reduction in individuals and families falling out of the system
(13) Reduction in the trade deficits of the United States

The Federal government do not have the commitment nor will to address the trade deficit and its relation to the average man.  We believe after all of the hoopla, tax cuts and moving income from one class to another class of people in the United States, they will not have attacked the real enemy of everyone in the U.S.  Hidden behind several different levels of economic and business statistics in America lie the real enemy (the Trade Deficit) which is slowly dismantling our society.  Let's pull out one economic statistic and analyze it.  The one trillion dollars we have paid for foreign goods since 1985.  First, if we had a balanced trade deficit, the one trillion dollars would have created 20,000,000 jobs since 1985 but was lost because we could not provide equal manufactured goods to trade.  Instead, we had to pay cash.  In a pure economic model it will get worst, since 1985 the one trillion dollars works out to $4000 for every woman, man and child in America.  For 1994 it works out to $1600 for every working person in America.  In a pure economic model it works out to 80 cents per hour for every American worker that worked in 1994, eighty cents per hour is going outside the United States and not being used for job creation in America.  If we dig behind statistics we will find the driving force behind the federal government deficit, decline in income, decline in tax base, increase in violent crimes, layoffs and other problems are being propelled by the trade deficit.  The trade deficit is our enemy.  Mayor Savage, we need a hero. We are asking you and the city council to take a first step to restart sound economic principles in America.  An approval of a 1/4 cent sales tax to relocate or develop manufacturing in low income areas of Tulsa would help propel Tulsa toward the 21st century.

REF: LOW INCOME ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES

After 400 years in America the black man has an opportunity to help fulfill his destiny.  The economic system is in the most precarious position in the history of America and that includes the civil war.  One may ask why we make such a statement when the system appears to be in good shape.  As a black economist we have followed the system since 1970 and have continued to write letters to economic and local officials consistently to alert of a real danger.
From a majority race standpoint and portrayal on television and in the trade magazines the trade deficit is a problem between the United States and the rest of the world especially the Japanese.  But in the scope of economics one man's loss is another man's gain.  For the first time in 400 years in America we have a chance to gain control of our own destiny.  Real power in America is in the control of industrial production.  The majority race shipped jobs out of this country by the millions starting in the 1950's.  This action broke up the black community structure (family unit, increase crime rate, increase teenage pregnancies and decrease church attendance).  Now, we have our young men in jail for reasons they have no control of (the economic overlay).  We  must stop this trend.  The system has been backed into a corner by the trade deficit.  Now, there are two economies (our regular economy and the trade deficit).  The trade deficit will not be reconciled until well into the next century.  The continued loss of confidence in the American dollar abroad has opened doors for the black man.  In order to reverse the trend the economic industrial sector should be enlarged.  This cannot occur at the present return of investment and management-labor cost ratio.  They need to be lowered in order to be achieved.  We believe funding through non-profit organizations plus low-income management-labor ratios will help reverse the trend.  Since January 1993 the present federal government administration has created 5 million jobs. But if one take the trade deficit of 267 billion dollars accumulated during this administrations time in office and allow 20,000 jobs created per billion dollars that left the country because of the trade deficit plus the manufacturing jobs left during the same period of time. There is a deficit of 1,000,000 jobs which help to fuel displacement.  The #2 problem in America is displacement (workers falling down the economic ladder until some fall out of the system).  The #1 economic problem is the increased velocity of the turnover ratio.  This increased velocity affects the social, moral and economic stability.  (The key to America's economic, social and moral woes).  We, as a black race, need to develop our own plans to incorporate manufacturing and business development.  Therefore, when monies become available our plans will be in place.  Slowly, they will become available as the dollar fall and the trade deficit friction heat up, dis-investment in America, bank solvency problems, price hikes, increase interest rate hikes, social and moral decay, stock and bond market fluctuations, federal government financing irregularities, rising unemployment and increasingly the federal reserve is back into the same corner as the economy and force to make a decision between foreign confidence in the dollar, the consumer, the industrial sector, the financial sector and the federal government financing.  Each decision by the federal reserve hurts one sector and rewards another.  The Panic of 1890's brought on reform to start the federal reserve and 100 years later evolution indicate other changes and fiscally the dollar fall will effect world wide military obligations.  We as black Americans have a window of 25-30 years to gain control of part of the industrial sector with the aid of the artificial tariff barrier created by the trade deficit and the falling dollar.  Our organization theory is based on $1,000,000 distributed to individuals specifically in low income areas of $10,000 grants for small businesses and $50,000 grants for manufacturing start-up use for further leverage into the system.  Each year $1,000,000 for 20 small business grants and 12 manufacturing grants will be used.  If allowed year after year the impact on 100,000 people per sector could have a tremendous result plus put the spirit back into the community when they see their own neighbor running their business.  We can test anywhere in America per 100,000 low income.
IS EVERYTHING OK IN AMERICA? NO, we have switched from an industrial base economy to a dollar-industrial base economy.  This is a false image.  The budget deficit is 203 billion dollars plus the trade deficit which brings the total debt to 363 billion dollars for 1994 (And everyone wonder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?).  The Federal budget deficit is used to replace income lost to the economy from income lost from manufacturing production and income that should have been derived from the trade deficit money if allowed to have a regular turnover ratio in America.  Excess money is being pumped into the economy through federal reserve policies and government borrowing. If not corrected this is a long term problem that could cause irrevocable harm to the system because of negative manufacturing production to cover outstanding trade deficit dollars (And everyone wonder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?).  Since 1985 the trade deficit has accumulated over 1 trillion dollars in red ink, which translates to 20,000,000 jobs, that should be in America right now but have been partially replaced with cheap service sector jobs (And everyone wonder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?). This does not include the manufacturing jobs that left the country between 1955 and 1976 when the trade deficit turned negative and then millions of jobs and trillions of dollars both left (And everyone wonder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?).  Crisis point is too many dollars world wide unaccountable due mainly to trade imbalance and over consumption in the U.S.  We are talking about a major blow-out of the system and a malignant cancer propelled each month by the trade deficit and is slowly effecting other parts of the economy and world wide policies.  The Federal government needs help from the private sector and if left totally in their hands they will only complicate matters.  Each current months trade deficit translate to approximately 260,000 jobs lost to consumption and the ability not to reimburse other countries with equal manufacturing goods per dollar imported for that trade month (And everyone wonder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA?).

Reference:  Inter-City Economic Development

The S. Hayes Inc. is a grass root non-profit economic group in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  We have developed a long term economic option to help assist America reduce the ever increasing trade deficit.  But in developing S. Hayes Inc. option it became apparent our program could serve a dual role.  Also, the program could be used to assist economic revitalization of the inter-city.  We encourage President Bush's administration to take a close look at our economic program.  This is a universal program that would benefit all Americans.  Our program is simple and cheap.  The cost would be spread out among city, state, Federal governments and the private sector.  S. Hayes Inc. plan is called Urban Revitalization Economic Plan.  UREP can be adapted to assist existing government programs such as American Community Renewal Act or Empowerment zones. If one of the major federal government programs was not awarded to a participating city, then we could provide UREP minus the major federal program.  UREP has four parts:

  1. One million dollars annually to dispense: Five $10,000 small business grants and three $50,000 manufacturing grants every 90 days.
  2. 1/4 cent city sales tax to fund manufacturing plant in low to moderate income areas
  3. American Community Renewal Act (optional-Other Federal Programs)
  4. City, State, and other Federal incentive programs

This is per 100,000 low and moderate income citizens.  If there are 200,000 or more in low and moderate income in a city each 100,000 will have a major manufacturing plant and dispense five $10,000 small business grants and three $50,000 manufacturing grants every 90 days. Our 1/4 cent local sales tax is to attract manufacturing plants to the city.  Also, it serves as a long term on- going  fund to reduce the trade deficit and provide additional capital investments for America.  An example how the fund will work.:  In the last 30 days a company called ZEBCO closed their plant in Tulsa with considerable media exposure and moved their jobs to China.  If our 1/4 cent sales tax program was in place in Tulsa, we could have negotiated with ZEBCO to stay in Tulsa instead of moving Tulsa and American jobs to China.  We could have relocated ZEBCO jobs with a 5 year contract into a low to moderate income area in Tulsa.  This is pilot program in Tulsa or we can test anywhere in America with 100,000 citizens or more in low to moderate income.  In theory, if we get several cities are on-line with S. Hayes Inc. program ( then before corporations ship jobs out of America), The cities will negotiate with each company through a bid process.  Each city would bid on the jobs and the city who win would relocate the jobs into low and moderate income in their city.  If we have sufficient cities participating, we will not only bid on jobs leaving America but we enter into negotiation concerning bringing jobs back to America using the same bid principle with a specific contract time.  We believe our program have numerous economic, social, moral and political benefits.  This will help restore the economic floor and restart our main goal (the reunification of the family structure).  If one member of the community opens their own business, it will vibrate through the surrounding community.  Also, if one relative jump starts economically, it will affect the family structure, cousins, nephews, nieces and their friends in positive way about the system..

Our organization have a plan but we do not have muscle.  We need support.
