Like I said.
Donald Trump is already having an impact.
Very, very good.
Doesn’t matter. The free trader crowd has effectively gutted the US auto industry. You got what you wanted. Now you have to figure out what to do with all of the US workers, and all of their family members, because they just didn’t disppear like you expected. The taxpayers have to support them now, because all of the service jobs and tech jobs have gone to illegals and H1-B workers.
So if you are a free trader type, don’t whine when the feds tax the shit out of capital gains and foreign income. Someone has to pay for all of those new welfare recipients that used to be gainfully employed, and there isn’t enough left of the middle class for you to squeeze.
The lowest 50% don’t pay any taxes, because the don’t make any money.
