We have tried “your way” now, for nearly an entire generation.
“Your way” has nearly bankrupted America.
Bring back American industry, and enact tariffs.
Do not let the government choose targets for import tariffs. Have one flat percentage (I would say 10% would be good) and charge EVERY SINGLE THING IMPORTED INTO AMERICA exactly that much of a tariff.
10% on imported oil (no tariff on American oil)
10% on imported Chinese (or Mexican, or European) manufactured goods of any sort.
(no tariff on any American good)
10% on imported food. (no tariff on any American food)
I’m completely series. America needs to become friendly to American producers.
And American producers incidentally need to become friendly to their own country for a change.
Put Americans back to work.
So - you admit that you want to:
* Raise all prices by 10%
* Give the money raised to the government.
* Forbid Americans from buying better/cheaper products from abroad, in contravention of their rights of Freedom of Association.
Also: you don’t appear to support any measures that would make it easier to produce wealth in America - you just want Government to build an ‘iron curtain’ around America and prevent foreign competition.
Is that about right?
