That's true, but the ecomomy of the North still had a low-wage pool of immigrants. Anyway, I agree that a tariff revenue economy is far superior to an economy that taxes income and capital formation. Income taxation and its defenders are just plain stupid.
Absolutely correct! I think the nation is waking up, unfortunately we have no leaders willing to take up the fight. Both the GOP and the Rats are committed to free trade, open borders and income tax.
