Trade Reform page

We believe that trade should mainly be to help the two countries involved in the trade. Also, we believe that certain items should have a higher tariff than others if they are not economically friendly, or provoke healthy lifestyles. In general, the Pacata Civium party believes that through trade, we should be aiding other countries by returning a product to them. Imports Exports
 * Items should only be imported if they are something that the country cannot produce, and must get from another country (such as tropical fruit/vegetables or oil)
 * When a country trades with the US, they should get a product of the US in return- if Iraq gave us oil, Iraq would be able to choose a product of the US in return
 * We encourage more of a barter system for trade, although there will still be taxes on the items so the countries will earn some profit for their goods
 * Solution:
 * items that are discouraged (such as unhealthy foods, and economically unfriendly products) are taxed with a higher percent
 * Example: Products like "gas-guzzling" cars will be taxed higher in the United States, and will also have a higher tariff
 * The United States should export products that are easily produced, and products that other counties need
 * We believe that technology should be given to other countries that are in need of our support
 * The government would buy computers and other hardware from certain companies (that are willing to give their hardware to countries in need) and will export them to the countries in need without any tariffs on the products
