“It’s time for the United States to return to the system
that made us richer & more powerful than ever before.
You know, the U.S. in 1870 → 1913
ALL TARIFFS
& that was the richest period in the history of U.S.
relatively speaking.
They set up the great Tariff Commission of 1887.
This commission had 1 function —
what to do with all the money that we took in.
It was so enormous,
it was a Blue Ribbon Committee, set up 1887.
What to do with all of the money we had.
Teddy Roosevelt was a beneficiary
because when McKinley was killed,
he took over this vast sum of money
& did all those National Parks.
I’m not knocking him, but he was given a vast amount of money.
And that was all made through Tariffs.
We had no income tax. Income tax came in 1913.
As I said in my speech last week
instead of taxing our citizens to enrich our nations
we should be Tariffing & Taxing Foreign Nations.
Does that make sense? 🥳
