SR 1209 – Trump Has Turned Republicans Away From “Free Trade”

Good evening, I’m still reporting on the Trumpet.

I’m a little under the weather today, so this will be my only report.

A recent story in the leftist Politico sooooo reminded me of an ancient Bible passage right out of its most ancient book – Genesis.
According to today’s Politico:

“Harvard poll: Amid Trump’s rise, GOP voters turn sharply away from free trade. Eighty-five percent of Republicans say that free trade has cost more jobs than it has created, the survey found.”
Here’s our interpretation. Donald Trump has already brought so much good to America from the issues he has popularized during his campaign, that it would take the rest of this report just to list them all.

But the truth about trade and tariffs and the growth of domestic manufacturing is one of the most important.

Why? Because the tortured notion that free trade is a good thing has now finally been punctured. As I’ve said many times in these reports; “free trade is really slave trade.”

The Politico piece makes a valiant globalist effort to turn the American herd around, but to no avail. Americans seek – remember – “truth, justice and the American way.”

Nope, the cat is now out of the bag on the “free trade” lie – a lie that attacks the truthful concept that the only thing that keeps this wicked world relatively free is sovereign nations using their sovereign money to enforce sovereign borders.

What if sovereign, independent nations hadn’t ganged up against Hitler? All of Europe would be speaking German today. That is a simple fact!

But Politico is still pushing:
“Observers on both sides of the political divide says that Donald Trump’s anti-trade message has xenophobic undertones.”
I don’t even want to know what their meaning for “xenophobic” is. It’s the new Obama/Clinton attack line, so I don’t want any part of it.

Just humor me, I think “xenophobic” means an fear of xenon gas – the inert gas – atomic number 54.

However, as the afore-mentioned Bible passage recounts, before Jacob’s death Joseph’s brothers came and begged for his forgiveness for selling him into slavery.

But 50 years later, as second-in-command to Pharoh, ruler of mighty Egypt, Joseph could have taken vengeance on his brothers, but he did not. No, Joseph understood God’s ways:
“… you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.”
Genesis 50:20

Politico intends to shame those who believe Trump’s Make America Great Again plan, but it’s too late. The great American herd has turned – turned towards the truth. The scales have suddenly fallen from their eyes. And here is the amazing truth.

The Founders of this great nation hated the idea of an income tax. For the first 125 years of its existence, the U.S. government derived most of its income from excise taxes – tariffs.

The first U.S. tariff income figures begin in 1792 when 95% of the federal budget came from tariffs – a grand total income of $4.6 million. The average tariff on imported goods was 15.1%.

Sixty-eight years later – in 1860 - just before the start of the Civil War, tariffs still funded 95% of the federal budget, and still stood at 15%.

Tariffs stimulate internal manufacturing. Throughout the post-Civil-War boom, as America industrialized westward, tariffs still funded more than 50% of the U.S. budget at tariff rates of between 30 and 45%.

The size of the tariff was a huge election issue in presidential campaigns, back then, and America prospered mightily. Everything in those days was made in America.

Then came the controversial passage of the 16th amendment, allowing a federal income tax. From that point, the percentage of income derived from tariffs crashed to less that 1% in just 30 years, and America started its long and deceitful journey into debt, deindustrialization and decay, and joblessness, thanks to the siren song of free trade.

Now only the wealthiest folks control ever-increasing chunks of global manufacturing and their final coup d’état is in the 8000 pages of the Trans Pacific Partnership. Why? Because within those pages, these corporate giants steal giant swaths of the national sovereignty of the nations of the Pacific rim to create an iron-clad .... (cont. on website www.billstill.com)
