If we really wanted an industrial base, we'd do away with the income tax altogether, re-institute the ad-valorum tariff revenue system, applicable to all articles of foreign manufacture, and eliminate capital gains taxes on investments in American labor. Free trade would mean, as it used to mean, joining the Union as a state (with all the Constitutional rights and responsibilities thereof). But we want a "one-world, ecumenical union of the peoples of the world," to quote Bastiat, so, consequently, America (and every other nation-state) must be destroyed. And this is what is happening, all the world over. All that is lacking is a world currency. Then, the Tower of Babel 2.0 will be complete. As if Babel 2.0 has any better chance of success. - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
