and here are some of Carrier's tweets (from here):
Memo to anti-Trumpers: people tweet. Deal with it.
I’d like someone to make a compelling case that tariffs would even be successful at addressing what they’re intended to accomplish.
Tariffs were one of the few ways that America made its money early on. It was only after the egregious income tax laws were put into place that we lowered our tariffs and became more global with our manufacturing and shipping. This is exactly how you put America first: lower or eliminate income taxes and increase tariffs. Buy American.
Drastically reduce, or even better, completely remove the corporate income tax.
It’s just a hidden tax on the middle class consumers after all!
Then there won’t be such a problem with business going overseas... I honestly can’t blame them with a 35% corp tax.
Bring all hidden taxes out into the open and let the sunlight shine on them... then people will see things as they actually are.
There are obvious risks in protectionism. Trump must be assuming that the US economy is so powerful that it can win any trade or tariff wars with other countries while maintaining domestic productivity at a high level despite decreased competition. I hope he is right.
Thank God we finally have a President with a back bone. Imagne what would have happend, or not happened, if Obama, the Clintons, or even the Bushs’, had been around at the time of the founding of this country.
The panicked left is thinking of threatening to shut his twitter account down. And I supposed they could do the same to his Facebook account.
But they better be careful or he’d end up building a cant-miss WH web site, “tweeting” to Drudge, etc.
