As you can see in the link manufacturing is alive and well in the US and is (gasp) growing.I should have known you wouldn't understand what "relatively speaking" means.
Manufacturing is growing at the same time the manufacturing trade deficit is growing. No one said anything about a dead or even stagnant industry...
Walk into a business with a wide array of manufactured products like Home Depot then decide if "relatively speaking" there are more domestic made products or foreign made products..."relatively speaking" I would say there are almost no domestic made products...
Therefore I can safely say that the majority of Home Depot prices would not be affected by the elimination of domestic income taxes.
If you have evidence to suggest otherwise I'll be glad to consider it.
I understand exactly what "relatively speaking" means and I included it in my reply. But I also understand what "practically nothing" means and I wanted to point out that the inference was incorrect. Manufacturing is healthy and growing in the US. In fact, manufacturers can't get enough skilled workers in the US. It would grow even faster if we eliminated government education.
"Relatively speaking almost nothing is manufactured here anymore,"
"No one said anything about a dead or even stagnant industry..."
LOL ... right, LL, whatever you say.
"If you have evidence to suggest otherwise I'll be glad to consider it."
How noble of you.
