Tariffs were responsible for the rapid growth and prosperity of United States, while funding up to 95% of the government without income taxes until 1913 (“The Year of Infamy”), the beginning of the end of the Republic.
There are two primary Economic concepts regarding tariffs, which are
“Infant Industries” and “Comparative Advantage”. Prior to the Revolutionary War, the English made it difficult for the Colonies to produce value-added products; they only wanted our raw materials, and England would profit from manufacturing. After the revolutionary war, America had very limited manufacturing capacity and had to protect its fledgling industry from foreign competition with tariffs, based on the ‘Infant Industry’ theory. “Comparative Advantage” was the theory that each country would produce what it did most economically for trade, and everyone would benefit. We used tariffs to build our industries, protect our workers from cheaper foreign wages, and to finance government without income taxes until 1913.
We continued to use tariffs to the present day, but we used the Comparative Advantage theory in later years to the extent that we de-industrialized the United States to benefit the PSRRC, cause widespread unemployment, and destroy the economies of thousands of American cities.
From 1790 to 1860, tariffs went from 20% to 60%, but declined later back to 20%. From 1861 to 1933, tariffs increased to 50% for some time. After 1934, tariffs declined to 5% (during the Great Depression).
President Lincoln learned, during the Civil War between 1861 and 1865, that tariffs were not enough to fund a war, and he financed a majority of the war with excise taxes. The Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) at that time caused the Civil War by putting excessive tariffs on cheaper but superior English products. The objective was to force the South to sell their output to the North at lower prices, and buy inferior products from the North at higher prices. This was accomplished by a perfectly Constitutional tariff called “The Tariff of Abominations” by the Southern states. The civil war, like all wars, was all about money and had nothing to do with slavery.
Then as now, the PSRRC was the root cause of the civil war and all of our “wars”. The military death toll for the Civil War was 620,000. None of the 30 military conflicts since 1945 (after WW 2) have had anything to do with the security of the United States; every damn one of them was lost for the profit of the PSRRC at great expense to the People.
The Great Depression started in 1929 and lasted until World War Two in Europe in the late thirties. The Depression was blamed on the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930, which was 20%. But the depression was in effect prior to Smoot-Hawley’s inception. The tariff of 1930 did make things more difficult for other countries during the depression. Some other countries also retaliated with their own tariffs. The real cause was the Federal Reserve Bank, by inflating and then reducing the money supply. The depression lasted here for years longer than in Europe, and was justly blamed on the socialist policies of President Roosevelt.
You now have a basic understanding of the history of tariffs, which is about all anyone wants to know.
Now we get down to the cold, hard facts of how the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) has destroyed the Republic along with The People’s wealth and God-given Constitutionally-protected Rights. The “American Dream is dead, thanks to the PSRRC and their fellow travelers at Black Rock, State Street, et al.
The Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) elect the directors of ‘woke’ corporations (based on numbers of shares of stock ownership), who in turn order corporate officers to bribe government officials of both parties to do their bidding. Make no mistake, the PSRRC familes (or whatever you call them) are the ultimate rulers in our country, and everyone else working for them and their evil agenda is but a paid subservient minion.
The year 1913 will go down in history as “The Year of Infamy”, the beginning of the end for the Constitutional Republic. It is the year when government replaced tariffs with the Income Tax, Federal Reserve Bank, and Tax-Free Foundations, which allowed the wealthy (PSRRC) to suck the life-blood from citizens.
These three actions are an abomination that must be reversed! Without the income tax, the PSRRC could not steal The People’s wealth by using wars for profit. Without tax-free foundations, assets of the wealthy could be protected thru eternity to do all manner of mischief, including control of corporations and elections. Nothing about the Federal Reserve Bank and fiat money are beneficial or Constitutional.
Now hear this: If our government operated Constitutionally, tariffs would be more than adequate to fund the government without income taxes. Yes, this is absolutely correct, as proven by our own government from its founding until 1913.
The only reason for income taxes is to finance wars with The People’s money, so it can be transferred to the Military Industrial Complex of the PSRRC. Another reason is to finance Communist programs in Democrat cities, which are unconstitutional. Just a reminder, it is both unconstitutional and Constitutional Treason to spend public money on illegal invaders!
Remember, if we use tariffs with a “Constitutional government” there is no need for income taxes. NONE. The majority of our manufacturing was moved to foreign countries by our ‘woke’ corporations for profits on orders of the PSRRC. Congress has been well-paid for their treason to destroy the United States. If we had used tariffs, we would not have lost the “American Dream” and unlimited prosperity. It would have been impossible for any foreign country to take away our business with their lower wages. So what if our domestic prices and wages were the highest in the world if our economy was also the highest? We could be an island of prosperity, a land of milk and honey without wars.
Some really smart people have observed a simple truth that it is IMPOSSIBLE for our country to be invaded by a foreign power. We therefore have no need to project military force except for profits of the Military Industrial Complex, and to incur the hatred of the world for our killing millions of innocents and destroying entire countries.
This is the “Fortress America” concept. Since we cannot be invaded, we can cut our armed forces by 50% because we don’t need to project force. We don’t need aircraft carriers, which are said to be obsolete floating coffins for 5,000 men and women, due to new technology in weaponry. Only a nuclear war can defeat us.
President Trump was using tariffs to return jobs to the United States and to end wars. No other President in my lifetime had the balls to attack the these major income sources for the PSRRC. This is why the PSRRC, who owns the media and government, has been doing everything to destroy him. FYI, the Federal Reserve Bank and its financial manipulations are also major sources of income for the PSRRC.
So you can now understand why I don’t care how President Trump walks and talks, nor how he has succumbed to the powers of some women, to which all straight men are subject.
Remember 1913, “The Year Of Infamy” the beginning of the end for the Republic which the people will not accept.
May God Bless You and The Republic
