We could import enough Mexicans and Poles to meet such an increase in demand. From strictly domestics sources impossible without suspension of most of what is known about marginal utility. Ten per cent short term might be possible under national emergency conditions.

That would indeed increase the labor supply.
YN is complaining the prediction of a 30% increase in labor supply is too much creating too much of a surplus in people seeking additional work, when income and payrolls are no longer taxed and replaced by an NRST.
PS, for clarity demand for labor would not move as rapidly as desire for additional work.
The issue is, will the NRST replacing the income/payroll tax system provide sufficient incentive to cause people to desire to work 30% more hours, including those not working now, as well as folks already in the work force.
Not whether labor demand will increase 30% in the first year. Nobody expects that rapid a growth in industry.

With outsourcing, we don't have to import anyone. This is the 21st century; the labor supply is highly expandable, much to the chagrin of our protectionist friends.
