That’s a 20% tax increase. Are you really advocating for that?

The economy is $18Trillion of which $1.8Trillon is imported goods and services. I am proposing a 20% consumption tax on 10% of the US economy. Not only does this tariff bring in revenue it stops the offshoring and begins the repatriation process of lost industry. Win - win.

You can finance government with an unconstitutional progressive income tax preferred by the Marxists or you can finance government with a constitutional tariff system preferred by the founders. I see you side with the Marxists over the founders, how progressive of you.

Borrowing money into existence is no more inflationary than printing it.

Not on land, food, medical care, most construction and education.
