You must have missed what Trump said about the tax code. His idea was a starter - then possibly go to a fair or flat tax. He just wants to get a start on changing the monstrosity we currently have. That’s a plus. Cruz nor Trump can do much about things without Congress. However, that hasn’t been a problem for zero, has it? I think you should also do a little more research on tariffs.
Well, I’ve seen where Trump has said or implied that he’s willing to flex if he sees it’s for America’s good - so that’s hopeful on some of these issues.
So many don’t get tariffs which are nothing more than a tax on the country raising the tariff. If it weren’t for the 16th Amendment, tariffs could be a good way of raising revenue as it used to be. But tariffs are a TERRIBLE economic “tool” - it’s like shooting yourself in the foot - and does nothing to address the DIRECT CAUSES of our economic problems - minimum wage for example.
Maybe someone other than Rand Paul has said it, but I have yet to hear anyone talk about REPEALING MINIMUM WAGE, probably the single most destructive economic factor the feds have perpetrated on the U.S. THE FEDS - not China, Japan, or the Man in the Moon - are the REAL economic culprits.
