YTshort - Another example of people realizing (w/o realizing its label) that Protectionism is GOOD!
Some people call it different types of "sovereignty"
But no, sovereignty is the goal/result
Protectionism is the strategy to achieve it
ALSO self-reliance is paramount!
Every nation should move toward self-reliance as much as possible - and use #MMT toward this end
(Modern Monetary Theory)
Eventually leftists will realize this is the way.

To use the correct framework, the MMT framework, is yes, the billionaires evade taxes, but they also collect infinitely more directly from government spending and by bleeding us.
All of us are made to pay down the money created from the tiny trickle we get as wages, while the most perverse evil people on the planet take the lion share, pay almost nothing and pay no tax.
Instead of being able to rely on funding by right, individual states—and even indivdual towns—are constantly competing for attention and money from the federal Congress and the President.
Why should Texas get a say over funding Vermont?
While #MMT shows correctly that the national budget is not constrained by taxes, the reverse is true of the state government and all their other subsidiary governments in the US.
Our municipal and state budgets are indeed forced to tax before spending.
So much of our #society would be greatly improved by simply #spending the #money into existence that is needed to hire people to do work that needs to be done, like keeping our public spaces clean. #urbanism
As the estimable #JohnMaynardKeynes once said, "We can afford everything that we can do."
#ModernMonetaryTheory #MMT demonstrates clearly the truth of this. We can afford full #employment in society. #Currency is merely a token that represents the #labor product of the people.
Even better they manage to bankrupt a currency sovereign, which isn’t or shouldn’t be possible
