Oh and we're in a 2 front war. It's unprecedented to cut taxes in war.

Feels like I've made this post about a dozen times...

The 3 largest 'takes' by the federal government in tax receipts were in 2006, 2007 and 2008. After tax cuts. Maybe they didn't spend it right but shows if the goal is to increase taxes to the feds then cutting taxes works.

Reinstate massive trade tariffs.

Start actually enforcing our immigration laws, by going full bore after those that employ illegal alien trespassers, seizing all personal and business assets, along with sitting them in jail for mandatory 5 years.

All immigration visa's would be called and revoked. No new visa issued until unemployment levels dropped below 5%

75% tax on all outsourcing to foreign countries and citizens.



Just to name a few, when I'm elected.

In reality this is capitalism over country...my wallet -v- us (wallet wins everytime). Lassiez faire capitalism doesn't work anymore because we don't live in small communities that are removed from other systems. Enomomies are entertwined and infrastructure is required to maintain the system. Taxes are required for the roads, education of the workforce and the ability to regulate big business. Too big to fail will require us to bailout more companies in the future and deregulation will increase this. For capitalism to work for the majority of people in the USA the government must enable the small businesses to survive and keep the "walmarts" of the world from crushing them (competition between business is just as important in supply and demand as consumers).

Another economic fallacy that is repeated over and over. Globalization has made things more complicated therefore we need more government control.

Economics is economics. The laws are determined by human nature. Doesn't matter if I am dealing with someone from China or my next door neighbor. We are going to enter into a mutually beneficial exchange. Nothing more complicated than about it than that.

That's the great thing about capitalism. It benefits everyone and any transaction is voluntary. Unlike the state which must use the threat of death or jail in order to make people participate.
