I will seek to add one more thing to your list: Trade Reform.

Many Americans can say 'tax reform' or whatever because thats what they know. They have filled out tax returns, they know how the system works (generally)....

What your average Joe American doesn't know is how trade works.

I am not talking reforms in the sense of cutting trade off and throwing up walls around the nation. I am talking about how to make trade work best for those involved. That means we are going to have to get tough with some involved including our own.

Maybe I should start an organization.... "Americans for Trade Reform", that sounds kinda catchy, which advocates enhancing the workings of our global trade system.

Consider it added!

As we have previously discussed, on another thread somewhere, I recognize that there is much in need of doing in that area.

Not a bad idea at all! Perhaps you should!

Yes, I agree.

Heres the question to which Ive gotten only a few honest answers from some libertarian types who absolutely despise TARRIFFS.

Would you trade a system wherein all revenue was generated by TARIFFS combined with radical TAX REFORM (eliminating all income and capital gains taxes as they presently exist, and replacing with a consumption tax) for the present system we now have?
