"Leaving the effects of regulations and lawsuits aside for now, If we want to have a stable society again, what we need to do is reduce personal and corporate income taxes and add the equivalent in commodity taxes. The net tax burden on US citizens and residents would not change, so it will be a tax shift and not a tax cut. But for the first time people who bring imports to the market will contribute to the cost of having that market there. The products and services made in this country will be more competitive, economic stability will return and costs will go down, and EVERYONE will be PAYING THEIR FARE SHARE!

Man, you are smart!! I guess you and I will be raped for saying so:)

How about if we score each nation based on it's political and religious freedom, as well as the degree of corruption extant in in the system. Then, based on that score, we look up a tarrif that is applied to every item imported from the respective nations(?)

The scoring itself could be done by a panel of 100 regular Americans selected randomly on a periodic basis.
