why, thanks to globalization, we don't have them anymore.

We don't have what any more? Tax systems..?

we have found is that countries that protect their industries and protect the flow of capital coming and going have more stable economies and more stable employment than those that don't.

We have found no such thing. That's, ahem, bullshit.

A flat tax of 15% on all incomes with sales and property taxes as necessary is a far better system

You do realize it's going to be HUGELY less progressive than all current Western systems, right?

If you want stronger wages then you need to stop in the inflow of cheap labor and the outflow of jobs.

/facepalm
