That wont matter because most of the business comes from global consumption not just US consumption. With the middle class in other countries growing stronger like China and India, they have more buying power which means they are more valuable investments for advertisers with a higher potential return on capital.
Actually what needs to happen to attract them back to the US is two thing, A buying power which means a stronger middle class or B lower taxes and cheaper labor. Take your pick.

Or unless our government steps back and lets people do what they do best - create business. Right now, the government is too "invested" in everyone else's business and no one in Washington and its many alphabets knows the first thing about running a successful business.
Right now our economic policy has been killing off small business at a depressing rate.

Well go ahead and try and start a small business right now the cost is through the roof. Just buy a work van and a set of tools tell me how much that cost you let alone bonding, insurance, license, and a small workshop.
