Ponca - You're playing a zero-sum game.
Let's use an example of $100,000 (top 50%) since it's easy. Today at $100,000 you're paying roughly $40,000 to the Federal government.
So what happens if you next year find yourself with an extra $40,000 to spend?
- You likely crush your mortgage and car loans
- You might save or invest more of your salary
- Likely buy a new home or remodel your existing home, but a vacation home
- You might start a new business (on-shoring will happen)
- You might buy a new car, boat, jetski, RV,...
- You hire a lawn guy, housekeeper, tutor for the kids, pest control guy
Services are impossible to off-shore so that employees more Americans.
Housing is a very American economic expansion impact - wages, lumber, ... Tile, toilets, light fixtures, solar panels will become much more competitive for US manufacturers.
And any shortfall results is massive Federal and State budget and payroll cuts. It's not hard, except for the activist bureaucrats that are suckling from the dry teet of the American Taxpayer.
