“In the meantime, get rid of the CAUSE that cripples”
The EU assesses a 19% VAT on the import of all finished goods, and frees their own finished goods for the 19% standard VAT if it is exported.
Is this one of the causes you refer to above? Or, would you be OK with such a practice remaining without US steps to correct it?
The MAIN reason for our failure to compete in the marketplace are federally protected unions, high taxes, regulations, minimum wage, subsidies, and a weak dollar all converging to “bind and gag” American business and drive industry from our shores. Kill these mostly unconstitutional and boneheaded acts and policies and you’ve gone a long way to fixing the problem.
Easy-to-read list: END
- federally imposed suffocating HIGH TAXES and abolish so-called "CORPORATE TAXES" which are actually a hidden individual tax),
- unconstitutional federal PROTECTION OF UNIONS (why Detroit looks like a graveyard)
- unconstitutional dead-end REGULATIONS,
- unconstitutional business-and-job-killing FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE,
- unconstitutional SUBSIDES (BRIBES) FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS
- DESTABILIZING & DEVALUING THE DOLLAR.
