How about just one:
Raise taxes on imports. All imports. One flat fee, on every single thing imported into America.
Food. Oil and gas. Manufactured goods.
The question is what percentage to charge, in taxes. We should charge everything imported into the United States one flat fee.
We are 17.25 trillion in debt. And growing. Fast.
We cannot continue this way. Our entire country will collapse.
I’m serious.
Bring back American jobs.
Those taxes are called “tariffs”, and they are specifically mentioned in the Constitution. So you get a point for that.
Now please tell me exactly how much more you think Americans should pay for a gallon of gasoline since you mentioned oil specifically. Is another dollar enough, not enough, or too much?
How much more should a banana cost? Should we raise it to the cost of a gallon of gasoline? Remember, you said it should be a “flat” fee. Should a pound of bananas cost exactly the same as a gallons of gas?
Raising taxes on imports just hurts the consumer even more than now. More inflation.
The govt simply needs to get out of the economy. American businesses are over-taxed and over-regulated, and the government props up the least efficient.
