When this Country was founded,revenue to run the limited Government came from tariffs on foreign goods to prevent just this situation that we have now-unfair competition.This allowed Americans to innovate and prosper without interference from Big Bro.Personal income tax and "social security"(the king of oxymorons!)are 20th century phenomenons.I still know some old timers who remember no deductions from their paycheck at all!Until businesses are spanked hard with tariffs for going offshore,and rewarded for staying and providing jobs(instead of the other way around) this situation is not going to change.I agree that this money could be used to provide low interest loans for small business,or to supplement wages to bring them to par especially for businesses who are willing to train on the job but are undercapitalized to the extent that they could not afford the new employee until their skills are learned and they become productive.
