Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.
