I ask you this, what kind of person was George Washington who signed the first tariff act in 1789. Here is the preamble to it:
"Whereas it is necessary for that support of government, for the discharge of the debts of the United States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise:"[1]
George and I are solid.
Ole George had it right!
This is 2017!
Back in George’s day, protective tariffs made sense - they do not make sense today, because, as noted, the USA can compete with ANY country in any manufacturing endeavor and deliver better quality products at competitive prices in a timely manner!
Protective tariffs, as noted, cause trade and shooting wars. We need neither!
Grow up! All America needs is a level playing field, and the FAIRtax provides it!
