They tax workers at 40%.
They tax investors at 20%-30%.
They tax imports at 0% or close to it. In those cases where it's not 0%, they want to pass laws to make it 0%. Not only that, there is a good chance they are subsidizing the foreign company in one way or another (technology transfer, direct foreign aid, loans, etc....)
The democrats tell us our tax rates should be 1% or 2% higher. The republicans tell us they should be 1% or 2% lower. But both parties (at the top) think there should be no taxes on imports.
What is wrong with this picture?
