00:00America is going to be very rich again, and it's going to happen very quickly.

00:04It's time for the United States to return to the system that made us richer and more

00:08powerful than ever before.

00:09Do you know, the United States in 1870 to 1913, all tariffs, and that was the richest

00:16period in the history of the United States, relatively speaking, in other words, relatively.

00:22And we they set up the Great Tariff Commission of 1887.

00:29And this commission had one function, what to do with all the money that we took in.

00:35It was so enormous that they had no idea it was a blue ribbon committee was set up 1887

00:41and what to do with all of the money that we had.

00:44And again, Teddy Roosevelt was a beneficiary because when McKinley was killed, he took

00:51over this vast sum of money.

00:53And he did all of those national parks and all of the other things.

00:57And I'm not knocking him, but he was given a vast amount of money.

01:01And that was all made through tariffs as we had no income tax.

01:04The income tax came in in 1913.

01:07As I said in my speech last week, instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations,

01:12we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens.

01:17Does that make sense?

01:18Right.
