Corporations which have paid to lobby DC to import cheap workers and to import foreign goods without protective tariffs are also responsible to a large extent . Buy locally made products is best , as Mr. Copper reminds us .
Many politicians believe that taxing corporations is good – but corporations just add their taxes to the price passed on to consumers – probably with a markup .
The Fair Tax concept made sense to me . Even those being paid under the table participate in the tax burden that way . I would say that money sent abroad to individuals etc. should also be taxed , since it leaves our economy to help foreign economies .
BTW , many thanks to you and the others who keep this forum going . It really helps !
