You could eliminate all unions, regs and taxation on manufacturing and the lure of slave labor would not be overcome. The funny thing is with autos labor is only about 10% of the cost of manufacturing. When you factor in building the new factory and increased shipping costs the amount saved is pennies on the dollar. Bastards. I say tariff the hell out of the incoming jeeps.
Fairly low tariffs equally applied were the preferred type of taxation by the Founding Fathers. They were right.
The War of 1812 was financed without an income tax and with interruptions in tariff revenue. A generation and a half after the Revolution America had neglected its Department of War and its marksmanship. The Washington, DC sacking by the Brits was our humiliation but we soon drilled reserves into forces that were formidable. The Battle of New Orleans showed we could defend a city.
It’s not about costs.
It’s about handing technology, manufacturing, and the means to create wealth in America to a communist system.
Handing over the future to the communists so
a global communist order can be built.
In the end they will fail,
and won’t even understand why.
