"With the tariff system, the whole revenue is paid by the consumer of foreign goods. The man who contents himself to live upon the products of his own country pays nothing at all." --Abraham Lincoln Sure, if the raw materials, components and assembly all originate here. That may have been true in Abe's time, but no longer.

>>""With the tariff system, the whole revenue is paid by the consumer of foreign goods. The man who contents himself to live upon the products of his own country pays nothing at all." --Abraham Lincoln"<< A very good reference craig....Mercedes, BMW and Toyota sales were a little slow in the US during Abe's days and Boeing, IBM, Msft and the rest of the tech world had slow sales outside of the US and as a matter of fact I think steel and oil imports were a little slow too. Keep us informed on Abe's views of the bloated military budget and please let us know what Abe thinks about Dubya's world policeman plans. I'm sure Abe had some opinions about US troops in Yemen, Georgia and the Philippines. What did he think of an invasion of Iraq?
