The United States is rapidly becoming the very first "post-industrial" nation on the globe. All great economic empires eventually become fat and lazy and squander the great wealth that their forefathers have left them, but the pace at which America is accomplishing this is absolutely amazing. It was America that was at the forefront of the industrial revolution.

How convenient that 1865 was the low point for around 100 years. You lie just like Ted does just not as well.

1865 + 100 = 1965. Tariff percentage was well below 25% long before 1865. Who's the lair?

[Partisan Gunslinger]

You don’t deny it I see.

[central_va]

1865 +/- 50 years, 1815 to 1915. You must have rode the short bus to school right?

Trump is the last chance to save the USA in its current configuration. Ultimately the only way to free ourselves from the gloBULList cabal that is hollowing out the American economy, bankrupting us and destroying our opportunity to live as free prosperous adults would be to secede from FedGov™. That's the way I see it anyway.

There you go with that traitor talk again. You always talk of how you despise most of your fellow Americans. Why do you want to destroy America and then build another country with the same people? The ones you despise in the first place?

How does one show his devotion to capitalism?

[central_va]

There you go with that traitor talk again.

The last time I checked if you take a candy bar and break it half you still have a candy bar. Nothing got destroyed.

What's 50 years got to do with it? You said 100 years.

[central_va]

You always talk of how you despise most of your fellow Americans.

I don't consider traitors my fellow Americans. So no loss.

Really? Eliminated in 1850? Tell that to McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Coolidge, all of whom had tariffs.

How does one show his devotion to capitalism?

By supporting freedom of the people to pursue their happiness through their pocketbook, not by forcing them to pay the government to favor one business over the other.

[LS]

Yeah. Sort of like when we used to send a gun boat and Columbia gave us Panama. Just like that.

Sooooo what you are saying is George Washington and almost all of the founding fathers were haters of capitalism because of their staunch support of protectionism? Do I have to rub your nose in it some more?

[Partisan Gunslinger]

I don't consider traitors my fellow Americans. So no loss.

You despise non-protectionists and non-secessionists. That's most Americans.

[Partisan Gunslinger]

Really? Eliminated in 1850? Tell that to McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Coolidge, all of whom had tariffs.

I didn't just say "eliminated", I also said reduced. Their importance went down over the decades.

[central_va]

You despise non-protectionists and non-secessionists. That's most Americans.

As for the former the Trump phenomenon speaks for itself as for the latter you've never been down south much. Give it time even dumbass Northeners will figure it out someday.

It was the only tool in the toolbox then. We have a much more efficient way to fund the government available to us now, the low flat income tax. The tariff is liberal compared to the flat tax.

[central_va]

Oh my!

[central_va]

We have a much more efficient way to fund the government available to us now, the low flat income tax. The tariff is liberal compared to the flat tax.

Mr. Freedom to buy from anywhere bub is going to support the income tax. LOL. The most destructive thing to personal freedom ever invented. WHAT A FOOL.

[Partisan Gunslinger]

As for the former the Trump phenomenon speaks for itself...

LOL! You think 40 percent of GOP primary voters is a majority of americans? It's not even a majority of conservatives.

...as for the latter you've never been down south much. Give it time even dumbass Northeners will figure it out someday.

See, you despise Northerners also. I've been to the south a lot, I've never met an idiot that believes as you.
