that some parking is ms back with us is but while systems in the program are the
dot recalled technical on that tom great to have you back
good to be with you tom tom bargain is licensed opiate u_k_ he and his website
is tom parking dot com
or a reagan white house staff member uh... commissioner of the texas
workforce commission
and the author of bringing america home a home erica lost her way and how we can
find their way back
and that at times
david fromm uh... we've we've had several conversations with him
uh... over the last year or so
and it seems aid ido reports his mouth but all he had a number of other
thoughtful conservatives have suggested that
the republican party
the part of the republican party that calls itself
severely conservative or
or very conservative libertarian conservative or tea party conservative
gone nuts
uh... that this is not the kind of conservatives that barry goldwater
recognized your thoughts
well personal david promise in video conservative and he was one of the
architects from the sidelines of uh...
of the bush policy to uh... impose uh... democracy on the middle east room of of
through military intervention is another area ill-suited policy which ironically
has been continued
uh... body obon administration and i think our failures in the middle east
uh... during the bush administration or principal reasons why uh... he became
very unpopular imo brock obama was elected president but uh... quite
frankly under the obama administration you've got uh...
hillary clinton was her arab spring policy uh... which is indirectly
uh... to uh... engaging regime change i think we've made a heck of a mass in the
middle east and with better start week nineteen what we're doing over there and
consider the law of unintended consequences when you get rid
uh... governments are not impose uh...
and the regime's it may be even worse so i don't and not a big fan the from the
generally because he is he and richard perle intact offered co-authored a book
praising this idea that we're going to uh... impose u_s_-style democracy in the
middle east i wanna hang this whole thing and david fromm on my mike my
point is it seems and and and and frankly i think that united
probably agree and more on twitter heard a middle east policy and nine
interventionism and we disagree
but uh... the
these guys who are talking about
forceable rape and and and gave these guys who are who are going off on how
you know it's a session we've got this conversation going you've got eight or
nine members of code the uh... the state house up in i at least wisconsin
minnesota right now talking about arresting any federal officials who want
to implementa obama caring dare step foot in their state
well to say this is a lunatic fringe on steroids prominent writer from doesn't
get it at all of the real problem is uh...
you have in the post reagan period nothing but what i would call
rockefeller style republicans wall street guys prior to that buddy guys
like mit romney
they'll be in our nominees are people beholden uh... too if you will the the
big financial institutions and
and the problem is we've gotten away from our middle class basant
uh... and and we really need to move back to being concerned about what the
average american is worried about and and we are not talked on this program
before about the need to bring manufacturing home to the u_s_ just are
growing the private sector and getting good paying jobs
bacterium and we need to change the business taxes to neither party right
now is talking about that they're all focused on this you know the personal
income tax side but the reality is the bigger problem issued out of business
tax system which we wards debt
which is great for the corporate turbo i'll answer says a low kathy's up with
debt and shipped the jobs overseas but it's terrible for
uh... american businesses and workers and then i i i i agree with him and in
fact i its sound so often
into me like you know we have these conversations in and and i believe i
said this overtly in the past that
uh... you're talking like my dad used to talk to considered himself in and
eisenhower republican again eisenhower republican goldwater conservative pure
and uh... granddaughter used to share our job and not to represent big
business big labor big government
but the forgotten americans and middle class
taxpayers who don't have a lobbyist and
washington are looking for loopholes in the law and we've gotten away from the
so let's talk let's talk about this business taxi if you have a uh... here's
the most recent piece that you have a overtime parking dot com escort taxing
our way to prosperity
and you know there's some the respectfully there is a it's some of the
gratuitous rhetoric about oh my god taxes
in there but you get into this point that
basically
uh... i would've gone into by starting out that alexander hamilton the upper
tariffs on imported goods in seventeen ninety three and we
built the united states are average tariff from from seventeen ninety five
until the mid-nineteen eighties in the united states terrifying imported goods
was whizzer thirty-one thirty point five percent of who is the average of all
those years it one is lowest twenty nine percent one as high as forty two percent
but it's it averaged around thirty percent
and and you know reagan and then clinton and and and thumbing to this day and the
president bomber
now our average tariffs are are well under two percent and other countries in
responsive joining the w_t_o_ and what not being on getting on this whole
global free trade thing it's ok fine will do away with tears imp tags on
imported goods to what we're gonna do is put into place a value added tax
anything manufactured in were first that tax out on exports so they decrease obey
and and and the data and will impose that accent imports are if functionally
becomes a terror your absolutely right i call it a stealth paraffin ideally
example of a
u_s_-made can lecture to germany
thirty five percent corporate tax rate here seven point six five employer
portion of the payroll tax
appriciated fifteen thousand experienced a mercedes-benz you're here that the
german border with the nineteen percent border just a consumption tax may have
been so you're at a huge disadvantage and on average word an eighteen percent
disadvantage with our trading competitors anish dot just below wage
nations
germany has a very strong manufacturing sector and yet it has a high-wage in
high social service costs dot
yeah structure or so that german vehicle coming into the u_s_ we have no border
just a consumption tax and as you point out tom
uh... they get a tax credit against her a business consumption tax back home so
i'm saying get rid of the existing system put in a border adjusted
consumption tax in the eight to nine percent range it would be whatever would
be revenue-neutral
and uh... all of a sudden you're leveling the playing field until early
is that we just have a matlab longer rewarding dept
hyatt we just don't know what how do we get
republicans and democrats to talk about a vat tax about value-added tax or a
support consumption tax there are some democrats fritz hollings is talking
about it uh...
pomerantz come on camera but he didn't echo a word about it gender male patient
waiver of a patch showed an independent who ran with
uh... ross perot has endorsed that uh... i think are scanned bold came out for it
the other day as did paul o'neill who was secretary of treasury and fired
i think by dick cheney because he warned about the deficit levels
uh... but they are all in favor of this concert so i think it's great gaining
ground in this is one
were tom and i think business and labor can come together and people on the left
and right can come together great i mean i just hate to see that neither side up
there is talking about this time yeah shots really
frankly for the catalyst for drops home death a finances
