Using government to artificially raise the price of goods isn't going to help us, it's going to lower are living standards.

The government is already being used to artificially raise the price of goods manufactured in America. Switching to a tariff based revenue system, rather than an income based one, would take away the economic bias against American manufacturing and put that bias on foreign manufacturers instead. Is there a reason that you prefer having the economic bias against American manufacturers rather than the Chicom manufacturers?

Not either or, neither is what I prefer. Toss the income tax, toss the welfare state. Let capital compete in America again instead of pretending it doesn't have anywhere else to go.
