Those companies are hiring foreign bodies and taking the money offshore, because taxes are so high here.

NOPE. It's cheap/slave labor that's driving the large-cap firms offshore, not high taxes. They already get REFUNDS in the $100's of millions plus subsidies and G*d knows how many loopholes they get, compare that to the small-cap tax rates, and it's OBVIOUS who's getting f*cked over.

Seems to me that things started.going badly after the trade agreements. You got an idea about how to get Americans working again and our exports be more than imports?

Tariffs Sound like a good idea, until the people we export to decide to play the same game. That's why the Commerce Clause exists in the Constitution. The clause is misread and misapplied, IMO, but it was intended to keep trade Regular, as in, even and normalized, between the states. Giving the Legislators power to argue about what duties and tariffs would be reasonable and justified in interstate commerce.

What do we export? Prior to NAFTA, I would be in agreement with your post. Today, it is hard for me to believe that we wouldn't benefit from tariffs even if they apply them to the few goods we export.

Best regards,

IF you believe what is available online, our exports are actually pretty good. However, looking at the world, and hearing that huge container ships arrive, unload, leave empty... Now, is That true? I don't know. I do know that the unemployment numbers are farcical. I have also heard that certain types of spending gets Counted as GNP. How many cruise missiles are considered
Exports, I don't know.
But, the point Is there and reasonable. IF you import More than you Export AND the tariffs are equal, then you gain. But, tariffs can change. Starting down that road looks like a bad plan to me.

My answer.
Burn the trade agreements.
Drop corporate taxes.
Seal the borders to everyone who can't contribute to a healthy economy. Look at what Australia demands of immigrants.
How many unemployed people do they need in order to be able to hire cheap labor? Who actually believes that is why they have never been willing to control immigration?
Wealth can not be legislated. A Living minimum wage is a ridiculous notion.
Why don't people consider the warning Ike made as he left office?
Look what JFK was doing. It was as If he heard what Ike said and was acting on it. Look at the direction of the country Since
JFK was killed.
Add it up.

That's how certain LEGISLATION works. Mandate that the serfs participate in commerce with a particular firm or purchase products from these firms. Wink

Don't think our CIA is involved in creating
Rebel groups
Who stand in opposition to
Dictators who our media paint, daily, on every
News Channel, every talking head demonizing the
Dictators?

Go back.
Look at the list that General Wesley Clark made public.
Note that the REASONS we Had to intervene came
Years after the list was made public.
If that doesn't make you think , you're brain dead.
And in the
Liberation of the Libyan people, we DESTROYED the worlds greatest irrigation system.
