A billionaire moves an American factory down to Mexico. America loses jobs. BUT WAIT say the free-traders! All of America propsers because we have can now have cheaper cars. If that line of thought is correct (and personally I have severe doubts), then why should we get freaked out because some billionaire wants to move himself to Mexico, or Zamboniland? Looks to me like we are all better off because we have one less billionaire to support. But at any rate, the free traders can't have it both ways. They can't ask us to go numb when a factory moves, but get all excised when a billionaire moves. parsy the utterly-logical.Why did the Billionaire cross the Border?
Because the Taxes were too high.
If you slap Tariffs on top of Domestic Taxation, all it means is that after high taxes have destroyed your Domestic production base, the Tariffs mean that you can't import anything either.
In all of human history, there has never been a Nation which has Taxed its way to Prosperity.
You understand this, I understand this, parsy, bless his heart, doesn't understand this.
