Taking raw materials out of the ground and making the things people need creates wealth. It generates money.

Drawing some lines on paper, such as an architect does, also "creates wealth." Just pointing out a common economic myth. (Not equating goods with services).

And will you stow the the totalitarian language? Not all protectionists are Mao-wannabes. Don't make them all look like fools.

An architect doesn't create wealth. His drawings have value, which is different from wealth, because it makes the real economy more efficient.

Demanding the Federal Government fulfill its Constitutional obligation to collect duties and tariffs and to execute traitors after a fair trial is not Maoist or totalitarian.
