They are protecting corporate and political interests that are of no concern to me. The US government is nothing but a group of paranoid schizophrenic control freaks sucking off of me.

It's all taxes.
Think of it like this. Every bullet, missile, tank, plane used in the Iraq and Afghan war had a "Made in the USA" sticker on it. Unless you've shipped that industry to China as well.
Give everyone $100 a month, likely hood is they will buy something with a "Made in China" label. The $100 in taxes went to employ a guy in the US, to spend in his local shops and buy something imported. Cut taxes and he loses a job and the shops lose revenue.
And you lose some of your income.

But maybe they buy someone's higher on the food chain product/service and that person buys from us.
To a lot of "average wage earners" $100.00 a month is new furniture or part of a new automobile payment -- trickle up tax cuts could result in economic stimulus. |
A new piece of imported furniture or car. So where is the economic stimulus of putting people out of work going to come from?
A cut in taxes would lead to a rise in imports. Simplistic view, still just look at where the goods you buy are made to see how simple it is.
$100 a month, I go spending on a couple of new shirts, made in China.
20 people not getting $100 a month, the Government employs someone who buys a couple of shirts made in China.
Get the simplicity?
