It seems to me that taxes are our only source of national income. We rob Peter to pay Paul to avoid raising taxes, Either we raise taxes, legalize pot or increase the tax paying population quickly, ie immigration. We need to concentrate on getting manufacturing back to the USA. I used to work at a hardware store. We sold iron pipe fittings, which are heavy, cheaper from China than we could sell them made in the USA. It blows my mind how they could be made and shipped across the pacific cheaper than they could be made in America. Taxes, high wages, EPA. Lets figure out how to increase tariffs and bring it back home or are we just scared of China? Invest in manufacturing, not green energy. I cannot swallow that we are trying to save America with Mexicans and drugs.
So how do you think things will go for consumers once you force tariffs on imports? And, your personal disgust about 'Mexicans' has no place in these forums...
