1. Fair trade policies that keep out goods from countries that have conditions and/or wages US worker cannot compete with if we are to maintain economic self-sufficiency for workers
2.Tax policies that favor companies that don't outsource
3. Education of the US population to demand made-in-the-USA goods
4. HS education that includes the skills to start and grow individual and small businesses. Very low or no taxes on startups that employ only US citizens.
5. Tariffs
Every policy you listed requires more government and more central planning. Central planning is the problem.
Listen to all your Marxist terms:
‘fair’ - define it, then remember that life’s not fair.
‘self-sufficiency’ - you mean at a minimum wage? More Marxist talk. American’s push for self-reliance. Who determines what is ‘sufficient’.
We already have an education-industrial combine that has ruined American minds. How about no government control over education, apprenticeships, licensing and permitting? Let the individual and their parents decide what to learn and do. How about a return to America in which parent’s, not government goofs were in charge of raising their kids.
Let’s go back to America’s Golden Age of liberty and rapid improvement in human life. GDP grew by leaps and bounds during the so-called Long Depression. Look up the Long Depression and see just how good it was during a pre-FED, pre-Leviathan America.
How about eliminating the corporate tax all together? Only people pay taxes. That would end the non-profit nightmare and all the politicking that corporations do. It would end the IRS abuses, too.
Tariffs are a bad idea. They failed historically and if they were such a good idea apply them to yourself. Make everything you need to live and charge a high tariff on anything you buy to force yourself to rely only on what you can make. Just try it for a year. Then report back to FR with your personal results.
If you still like high tariffs after spending a year enforcing them against yourself and your household, then I’ll join you in pushing for high tariffs for your town. Then we can experiment at the county and state level. You tariffs guys are like climate scientists. Your models work, but then reality happens.
Reading your policy points clarifies that you’re not really liberty loving conservatives. You guys are fascists, central planners who know what’s best and are willing to use the mechanism of the state to enforce it. You’re as disgusting as Obama or Clinton or Marx or Stalin or Mao. That’s the club you’re pushing for.
