Everyone needs to pay taxes, not just the rich. If everyone had skin in the game there would be a lot less debt and a lot more reasons to work at ambition.

I’m looking forward to American advances in manufacturing though. Not only will companies have a lot less shipping time on needed parts (6 weeks when shipped from China), but the country will feel a whole lot more unified.
