46. But did he take away tariffs that protected industry using Americans to build products?

NOOO!!!!!!!

Unfortunately today's Republikans and Korporate Demokrats feel that this is necessary in "today's global economy", but it is just their code words to pay back their Korporate donors to provide them bottoms to race to.

We just fuel the world with increased demand based on us using huge personal debt (NOT government debt) to keep the global economy functioning. Without this debt, the world economy would be in worse collapse (especially our country) than it was before the earlier Republican depression (as they used to call it before it was revised to be called the "great" depression later).

We are headed for worse disasters when personal debt demand collapses, much like the housing market triggered an earlier start to this collapse when debt bought with collapsing home equity was no longer available and triggered a huge drop of demand from that segment of debt buying collapsed in 2008.

We need to restore the 90% tax rates to have those that have had the world's wealth redistributed to themselves to pay back that amount of money that they have stolen from us for the last few decades! That and more inheritance taxes instead of less of them that they've tried to push through new laws.
