The American Protectionist Society

Trade Policy - The Keystone of Americanism (Protectionism).
An average 40% tariff should be implemented on all manufactured goods being imported
into the United States if there is a domestic industry in that same product. This simple
international sales tax, which asks foreign corporations and governments to simply pay for
the valuable access to our enormous consumer market, will accomplish the following:

It establishes a boundary for the division of labor and protects not only labor, but in fact returns the United
States to a free market economy, rather than a shared hybrid economic system and division of labor with
communists, fascists, socialists, social democracies, dictatorships, and other foreign systems.
It will stop the overburdening of taxpayers to fund the health care system, education, infrastructure, military,
welfare and other social programs.
It will protect domestic industry from unfair foreign competition, including subsidized dumping of products
and labor arbitrage.
It will stop the massive increases in foreign ownership and control of U.S. Corporations, U.S. Real Estate,
and U.S. Debt, and it will slow and eventually reverse the enormous political influence that foreigners have
over American elections.
It will reduce or eliminate the need for income tax.
It will shrink the power of the Federal Reserve Bank and reduce or eliminate the Federal Budget Deficit
It will immediately cause an increase in domestic per capita, capital investment per worker; which is the
driver of economic growth and the cause of increased wage rates and standards of living.
It will make impossible any attempt to form a North American Union, shared security agreement, or any
attempts at expanding global government.
It will NOT increase prices in relation to wages, and will NOT increase nominal prices except in the
immediate short run (as foreigner corporations utilize pricing power as a POLITICAL tool rather than a
market reaction)

Border Security and Immigration Reform
The first duty of an elected official in the Federal Government is to protect American
citizens from foreign interference. The border must be defended, by military force if
necessary, and immigration laws must be enforced. No amnesty should be given to foreign
workers, and corporations that knowingly utilize illegals for labor must be penalized and
stopped. Immigration should be orderly and controlled, but should not be stopped. Legal
immigration, as regulated by Congress, should continue.
