"If we were to fund government with a revenue tariff and get rid of income tax then tariffs would greatly enhance economic activity in the USA"

why are you stuck in the 1800s? Do you realise how ridiculous you would sound to the general public advocating policies that havent been used in almost 100 years.


"Infact I do believe our economy would take off like a rocket."
History shows youre wrong, just look at the smoot-hawley tariffs of 1930. In fact after the US moved towards free trade in 1945, is when the economy took off like a rocket.


I dont understand why you want central economic planning and why you want government telling you what you can and cannot purchase.

If you were really concerned about the US Trade Deficit, youd buy US government bonds or better yet foreign government bonds

Are you another Chicom posing as an American? You sure sound like it. You should read a history book sometime.

Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that the USA emenged from WW2 with it's industrail base unharmed while the rest of the world's lay in ruin could it? Na, I didn't think so.
