I think the federal government should be limited to a total of 10% of rates on taxes, tariffs, and that all taxes and tariffs should be FLAT.
So if there is a 8% Flat income tax, You have a 2% Inport/export tariff and 0% federal sales tax.
You can have a 5% federal sales tax and 5% inp/exp tariff and 0% income tax.
You can have a 3.33% Federal income tax, tariff and sales tax.
But you cannot go over 10% UNLESS... You declare WAR with Capital Letters. then it is limited to 20%. And the WAR has to be by over 2/3rdfs vote in BOTH HOUSES and has to be renewed by 2/3rds vote EVERY YEAR.
I could live with this.
Eventually over time the percentages would be fine tuned for max input and min economic effect.
but we got to LIMIT the total percentage to 10%
You want a Tariff, you gotta lower the other taxes, etc...
In the meantime, no one can explain how tariffs address the core issues of why businesses are fleeing this country.
