Tell me how you are going to convince 50% of the voters to vote to get rid of the progressive income tax when they benefit from that system.

When the destructive greedy Smithians get a brain or there is a complete economic collapse- which ever come first. The trade deficits and the de-industrialization is not sustainable. That's what you Free Traitors™ don't get or don't care.

American companies can compete without government help.

Now Smith is “greedy”?

You are quite the trip, man.

Trade Deficit is not a term used in the Floating Exchange Rate system we have been on since Nixon took us off the Gold
Standard. It doesn’t exist since the exchange is between the commodity purchased and the dollar. Money varies in value every day against every other currency. If we run a “deficit” it just means the dollar is valued at the price of the commodity.

You need to look at the difference between a Floating Rate exchange system and a Fixed Rate system if you have any desire to understand Reality.
