When I look at what our tax burden was last year, I take a whole new view of the cost of our VCRs were.

I’m thinking I could have bought a lot better quality of product from my fellow citizens.

The political ramifications of Chinese penetration of this hemisphere are far more serious than any short term economic harm. When our collapse becomes obvious and we begin to disintegrate the Chinese will be in position to gain effective control of the Western USA. Gradualism works.

All fine and dandy until someone builds another mall.

Explain again why someone in Germany should pay extra for American (on an equivalent product) rather than just going to Chinese.

You want to do business in the mall, to get rich by doing business in the mall? Well, you pay your rent---in this case, import taxes or tariffs.

Alan Keyes is an idiot. Consumers pay the import taxes and tariffs through higher prices -- not the importers. It amazes me how many people still don't get that. It doesn't amaze me, however, that Keyes doesn't.

Are they better than American cars??? I wish I was sarc...Unfortunately American made cars stink. Honda and Toyota IMHO are the best.

Tariffs would be a case of charging one shop-owner a HIGHER per-square foot rate for the exact same place, simply because you bring in your product via UPS rather than Fedex.

Income taxes paid by corporations would be more akin to the rent in the mall...

Keyes is dead right on this. Even slave owners had the moral consistency to live on their own plantations.
