<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1083464, member: 18157&quot;]Good evening Cloud,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since we seem to be discussing the National Debt here (I guess it&#039;s somewhat related to the price of silver), I would like your opinion on something that I&#039;ve been thinking about...it has to do with our trade imbalances and offshore industries.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As you may have gathered from our previous discussions, I&#039;m a bit of a fan of the &quot;Fair Tax&quot; (no idea how to implement it...but a fan). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>An important aspect of our trade imbalance (especially with China) is the reflection of corporate taxes in the price of our goods. If those taxes were eliminated and replace with a Fair Tax on the consumption of ALL goods, the price for US goods would remain about the same, but imported goods would then be taxed appropriately...bringing our prices more inline with those of our trading partners.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Additionally, companies that have moved operations overseas to avoid our corporate tax structure may find it advantageous to return, thus bringing back (much needed) manufacturing jobs to the US.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
