RE: American workers and their employers pay SS taxes. Imports don’t.
So, the solution is to make the goods that American consumers buy more expensive and give government bureaucrats more money?
I thought we all wanted smaller government?
We do. We all also want FAIR trade. Not FREE trade which skews in favor of other nations at the expense of American workers.
Is there a reason in your eyes why we cannot have both smaller government and fair trade? We can if we go back to the system our founding fathers intended -- which was funding the government via import and excise taxes rather than punitive income taxes.
The SS solution is to tax foreigdners the same as Americans. This has nothing to do with the size of Government, it’s SS to Americans.
