Cutting the capital gains tax has not even been mentioned. Hoovernomics alive and well in the GOP.

I'd have no problem with a revenue tariff if they replaced the income or capital gains tax with it but protective tariffs are economically stupid. As for protecting inefficent things in the name of national security steel production in the US hasn't fallen in the last ten years and Canada and Mexico's production can be counted on in a war( we can easily occupy them if they don't want to export steel) besides most military equipment doesn't use steel anymore it uses composites. As for lumber I don't see how thats a national security at all.

Hoovernomics alive and well in the GOP. Just because Bubba-2 calls himself a Republican and a conservative,it doesn't mean he is really one. He could call himself a Buick,but you still wouldn't be able to drive him to work.
