Are Tariffs The Answer?

Time Text
Government expands, inflation grows, productivity declines, and our current design.
Are tariffs the answer?
Ever since Trump's launch, it's been chaos and disaster.
Yesterday, Trump hinted at giving Americans a rebate from tariffs, but that's more big daddy candy in our face.
Just scrap the income tax.
Admit it, government spending is the least efficient form of economic output.
Anything the government does can be done for less in the private sector, just like Elon, Starlink, and SpaceX done 20 times less.
On the downside, tariffs give government revenue used for wasteful spending.
On the plus side, tariffs incentivize making products at home.
But Trump adds a tariff, removes a tariff, lowers a tariff, threatens a tariff.
What business can make a game plan with this chaos?
Most businesses sit it out, tighten their belts, delay production, cut employment, or sue Trump, which some have done.
The way out can be done in a snap.
Scrap the income tax.
Now you get up in the morning, knowing your earnings won't be fleeced by big gov. You got ready cash and you want stuff.
Entrepreneurs say, I'm going to make something that these guys need.
The economy booms and government giveaways are swept away with a prosperous private sector broom.
Here's my plan.
For now, we keep the tariffs, but stable tariffs, police.
Then scrap income tax so people can afford the tariff goods.
Startups will spring up, offering better and less costly domestic things.
We once had fruit of the loom in Bowling Green, but now overseas.
So let's make our underwear here and call it Loom of the Fruit and make it in Duluth.
Then we make pants, dresses, Maytags, frigidaires, doing the very same thing.
And the best part of it all, tariffs paired with no income tax means we rely on our own production.
Less imports, less tariff revenue, which equates to less government wasteful spending.
Diminishing returns can be good, don't fear.
Government power is decreased every year.
Freedom is a money-making deal.
This is why America boomed before 1913, when there was no income tax.
Mr. Trump, there's one thing you must do to make your legacy last.
Scrap the income tax.
