=== Tariffs and Wasteeful Spending (02:33) ===

[00:00:00]  Government expands, inflation grows, productivity declines, and our current design.
[00:00:05]  Are tariffs the answer?
[00:00:07]  Ever since Trump's launch, it's been chaos and disaster.
[00:00:10]  Yesterday, Trump hinted at giving Americans a rebate from tariffs, but that's more big daddy candy in our face.
[00:00:18]  Just scrap the income tax.
[00:00:20]  Admit it, government spending is the least efficient form of economic output.
[00:00:25]  Anything the government does can be done for less in the private sector, just like Elon, Starlink, and SpaceX done 20 times less.
[00:00:36]  On the downside, tariffs give government revenue used for wasteful spending.
[00:00:40]  On the plus side, tariffs incentivize making products at home.
[00:00:44]  But Trump adds a tariff, removes a tariff, lowers a tariff, threatens a tariff.
[00:00:50]  What business can make a game plan with this chaos?
[00:00:54]  Most businesses sit it out, tighten their belts, delay production, cut employment, or sue Trump, which some have done.
[00:01:02]  The way out can be done in a snap.
[00:01:04]  Scrap the income tax.
[00:01:07]  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.
[00:01:16]  Entrepreneurs say, I'm going to make something that these guys need.
[00:01:20]  The economy booms and government giveaways are swept away with a prosperous private sector broom.
[00:01:27]  Here's my plan.
[00:01:29]  For now, we keep the tariffs, but stable tariffs, police.
[00:01:33]  Then scrap income tax so people can afford the tariff goods.
[00:01:37]  Startups will spring up, offering better and less costly domestic things.
[00:01:43]  We once had fruit of the loom in Bowling Green, but now overseas.
[00:01:47]  So let's make our underwear here and call it Loom of the Fruit and make it in Duluth.
[00:01:54]  Then we make pants, dresses, Maytags, frigidaires, doing the very same thing.
[00:02:00]  And the best part of it all, tariffs paired with no income tax means we rely on our own production.
[00:02:07]  Less imports, less tariff revenue, which equates to less government wasteful spending.
[00:02:13]  Diminishing returns can be good, don't fear.
[00:02:16]  Government power is decreased every year.
[00:02:19]  Freedom is a money-making deal.
[00:02:22]  This is why America boomed before 1913, when there was no income tax.
[00:02:27]  Mr. Trump, there's one thing you must do to make your legacy last.
[00:02:31]  Scrap the income tax.
