@upotheke the 16th amendment is a pretty new thing in the country's history, and the income tax was sold as a temporary measure to the people who voted on it, and it was only supposed to be a small tax on just the rich. So it's perfectly reasonable to say it's bullshit. People who derisively say "worship the constitution" like that are almost always gun control or anti electoral college folks. Both things have been present for the vast majority of the country's history, and exist for very good reason that you just don't understand or care about

It is understood. Do you not comprehend the concept of knock on effects? People like Michael Moore complain about jobs getting exported to countries with lower standard of living. What this does is cause a net drain on our standard of living and grow theirs over time. If goods are cheap because they're lade overseas, increasing the cost of buying overseas puts a dent in this wealth transfer, and strongly encourages local employment, as it removes the singular benefit of outsourcing jobs. Yes, it means an increase in cost of imported goods, but it means more local jobs and higher local wages. If done properly, that more than offsets the higher cost of using high standard of living american labor instead of borderline slavery in other countries. So, it ends up being a question of whether you prioritize americans being helped, or developing countries being helped at our expense? I don't want to hear you whining about a shit job market if you say the latter
