Mr. Walsh, as I have stated before, and in what you quoted, with that nine-hundred dollars, they can invest in the economy, create jobs, increase wages, etc., as Mr. Howard, my children, and every other industrialist has done. Not only that, how is ti fair for one man to pay 30% and another 15%?
As for tariffs, I can agree with you to a point; however, we do import certain foodstuffs, and with the lower taxes, the farmer can invest more of his money into food production, thereby increasing his output, but not his profits, for his domestic price might, and hopefully will, fall, but he will be able to export his surplus to other markets, such as India, Africa, South America, and any nation that suffers from famine.
Further, a tariff reduction will lower the costs on the American people who buy foreign goods, which means they spend less, and have more money to invest, innovate, produce, or what have you.
