Let's try again (and this time, without party-line spambot answers):
If you were to design a tax code for the United States that would encourage manufacturing and producing exports, as well as encouraging savings over credit-driven consumption, how would you do it?
The quick-and-dirty, damn-the-consequences solution is this:
1) No taxes on companies that produce physical goods exclusively in the US,
2) High tariffs,
3) Cause deflation by burning (literally) a substantial amount of tax revenue.
That ought to encourage savings over consumption and manufacturing domestically versus overseas. Please wait until I move out of the country to do these things.
