The American System
A new plan for the improvement of America!
The Plan:
- Place a 20-25% tax on imports to support American industry.
- Create a National Bank to stabilize the economy.
- Improve the country's infrastructure with money from tariffs and higher land sale prices.
Raising taxes on goods from outside the country will increase the demand for cheaper American goods, supporting American industry. Continuing the Bank of America will allow for standard national currency and sovereign credit. It will be a great boost to our country's economy. Improving our roads and systems of transportation will allow for more ease of travel, shipping, and trade.
