1. It would be constitutional
2. It would repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934
3. It would encourage us to do business with fellow citizens over those who have no interest in the well being of the of the US - more importantly would not require who I do business with, just give a competitive advantage to those in the US to balance out the disadvantage from government regulation.

Import Tariffs

Income taxation, both corporate and personal

Sales or VAT taxes.
