So you want more taxes to the government and higher prices above other countries for the american business.
I expect such actions will result in less jobs and less manufacturing in the US.
No thanks. I don’t want the government deciding who we should buy from or sell to.
I want tariffs and NRST to replace all income taxes. Would you be in favor of that?
One thing that people seem to miss is the fact that the products we use have changed considerably over the last 30 years or so. Cars built today contain thousands of tiny intricate electronic parts they didn’t have 30 years ago. Attempting to produce even 1 model of 100% American made car would consume a huge portion of the workforce that are needed in other industries.
I used to work for a company making interior door skins for Cadillacs. We molded the shape of the door skin, applied the vinyl, painted the skin and door handles and uppers that came from another of our factories a few miles away. Then finally electronics were placed in the door using foreign made electronics combined with plastic control panels also made at another of our factories in Michigan. The doors were then shipped to Livonia where they were combine with major parts made locally, in Canada and Mexico, and thousands of tiny parts and pieces made all over the world.
Trying to force any company to produce a complex product like a car with entirely American labor would be a disaster leading to scarcity elsewhere. Under Stalin the Ukraine produced vast amounts of food that was sold for other things leading to famine in the bread basket of the Soviet union. Had the people been allowed to diversify and buy foreign products like tractors they would have increased their productivity, been able to sell surplus and had plenty for themselves.
