That is the sort of thing you have with government control and overtaxing and over regulation of business combined with no control of borders. Immigration should be ended totally for some period of time, 10 to 40 years or so. All the illegal aliens should be forced out of the country. So many freepers think the cure for government overtaxation and control is more government taxation and control. Conservatives supposedly believe in minimal government. I don't see much of that lately here. Many freepers obviously believe that Conservatism means intrusive government by our guys instead of the other side's guys.

Income taxes requires maximum intrusion and maximum control. It is very wasteful. Tariffs OTH, a consumption tax, requires no intrusion and no control. Our founders found them very useful. It is optional. Don't buy don't pay.

More tariffs and less income taxes.

You would do well to keep that link I used to rebut your position. Aside from that one reference in which the lecturer said that England had been under “Onesided Free Trade,” the rest of his presentation goes to great lengths to show how incredibly advantageous that situation was for England. He has all sorts of numbers to back it and his argument is clear.

I thank you for making me dig that up. I, too, am keeping that link for reference.

You need to read it.
