New Warhorn Media post by Tim Bayly:
I could listen to Dr. Von Hagen discuss almost any subject and be content. I wouldn’t necessarily understand it, but he would have my attention.
I truly appreciate this post. I have several questions:
Regarding reciprocity, are non-US markets for goods and services closed or restricted to US producers by either laws or regulations? Are markets around the word as open and free to US producers as the US is to non-US producers?
Has US past agreement to the WTO been driven by an unhealthy desire on the part of the US to consume more than we should?
Do tariffs have a short term role as a tactic in opening up markets around the world to US producers?
Is the rate and scope of US sales tax the same as the rate and scope of VAT assuming no middleman or one middleman in the production process?
Can tariffs incentivize production of goods and services which is currently taking place in other countries to return to the US? Would this create additional jobs in the US? What effect would additional jobs in the US have on the US economy?
What would be the effect on the US economy and government balance of payments to abolish al non-profit exemption from income and real estate taxes?
What would be the effect on the economy of eliminating corporations and making the owners of corporations (as indicated by stock ownership) personally responsible for the income, assets and liabilities of the enterprise (in proportion to their ownership)?
Finally, concerning the final comments on US military leadership, does it require US troops to be stationed around the world in static deployments, or does it require the US to project power?
I am eager to hear your answers.
Grace and peace,
Paul
