Here we go again.

Utter confusion between

- forced political globalization that tears down national sovereignty and political borders versus

- the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the open and free marketplace that is NO threat to national sovereignty or political borders, but prospers and strengthens a nation, its sovereignty and political borders.

Americans are waking up!

According to Paul Bairoch, since the end of the 18th century, the United States has been "the homeland and bastion of modern protectionism". In fact, the United States never adhered to free trade until 1945. A very protectionist policy was adopted as soon as the presidency of George Washington by Alexander Hamilton, the first US Secretary of the Treasury from 1789 to 1795 and author of the text Report on Manufactures which called for customs barriers to allow American industrial development and to help protect infant industries, including bounties (subsidies) derived in part from those tariffs.

America took a Free Trade on a three-decade test drive.

In 2016 they handed the keys back and said “No Sale!”

Here’s a plan to fully fund the federal gov’t:

-restore Constitutional money
- adopt spending plans which are consistent with Art 1 Sec 8
- zero the income tax on wages for EVERYONE
- maintain a reasonable corporate income tax and taxes on profits (eg. dividends)
- use tariffs and excises to fund the needs of the Republic per Art 1 Sec 8

I am not concerned by what people are paid in other countries. I justify a tariff as ensuring imported products and services pay taxes in our country which incidentally covers wage differences. A tariff will provide tax income that should offset income tax.

We should NEVER penalize gainful domestic employment over cheap goods from SH countries. Period.

[JPJones]

Yay!

George Washington put a tariff on British shipping, and Boston shipbuilding exploded in growth.

Reagan put a 100% tariff on Japanese motorcycles and save Harley.

Trump should put tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods, OPEC oil and Canadian lumber.

While in no way some international trade genius, not that there really are any, but don’t, Unilateral Trade Deals, like the ones that the President wants to pursue, eliminate all this globalization? Or at least, drastically reduce it’s effects?

It is time to do what it takes to Make America Rich Again.
