Europeans love to tax everything. LOL, I deal with that all too much.
The answer isn't taxes -- it's free global trade. Best product at the lowest price. National security can be preserved with limited subsidy to critical industries for domestic product only. However, consumers should be able to find the most competitive products or services globally. If you want quality -- pay for it -- buy USA or Western Europe if you see the quality -- don't buy domestic if it's the same shit you can get from Asia for 1/2 the price to support some failing political policy.
The USA invented the assembly line and much of modern production technology -- we can take the next step or the Chinese will beat us to it.
Your borders can transverse products and services or hostile armies -- which do you prefer? Trade wars start real wars historically -- the Great Depression and WW2 is proof enough.
