If you raise import tariffs to what other countries have, open a manufacturing sector that pays workers decent wages, and build products that are sold and taxed here, the tax base rises exponentially.
To keep shipping jobs overseas and allow our manufacturing to go overseas we have been losing tax base and therefore either taxes will have to go up or the deficit will continue to grow at such a rate that eventually the government will not be able to do anything but pay the debt off with taxes.
There are those that argue against this, but in reality we have no other choice but to bring manufacturing and decent waged jobs back or face taxes that will reach in the 90% iles.
I just don't understand how the conservatives can argue putting people to work and creating good paying jobs is wrong. Nor can I understand the left that believe that in doing so we have to tax these companies out of competition, so that they can't function.
Let's face it manufacturing is the Holy Grail of an economically sound country of our size, without it and without decent waged jobs we are sliding into a pit that we will not get out of.
We still have time but not much..... we must and have to do this if we plan to survive and pass a great country onto our children..... if we choose not to do this we will leave our children nothing but debt and an infrastructure they have no money to rebuild.
