So is Trump a leftist?

Is Trump proposing an expansion of the oppressive regulatory state? Is Trump proposing to increase personal and corporate income taxes?

I know the answer to those questions. Do you?

This is starting to get amusing!

And this is what you send by "private" messaging:

" So call Trump a leftist and tell us who you voted for. Do it or be a coward. Your choice bub. "

So ... do you know the answers to my questions in #101?

Well?

Spit it out!

WSJ had an interesting paragraph where ALL Christie preferred appointees are gone. I personally know one who was all but leaving a firm and headed to DC, to do an abrupt 100% about face. May be, DT kept Christie close in order to be fed such a list from him, to uncover the den of snakes. After all, hw conservative and trustworthy can an R be, from NJ...

I do not care about global chaos.

We know. That also means you don't care about the millions of US workers producing the $2T in goods and services that we export each year.

A tariff causes zero regulatory burden on anyone. Tariffs were an integral part of the history of the nation. The USA became and was an industrial economic power house form 1789 to 1913 when at that point tariffs were killed. So tariffs are not leftist at all As a matter of fact Marxists the world over love "Free Trade"

Karl Marx advocated Free Trade, i.e. Capitalism, because (a) whereas Protection builds up the nation-state, Free Trade breaks it down, as a prelude to the creation of a world-state by the Capitalists (b) Free Trade breaks down traditional culture, as a prelude to the creation of a world culture (c) Free Trade exacerbates class warfare, and through this the Capitalists will lose control of the world-state – they will be defeated by the impoverished classes, with the help of their backers in the higher classes.

Since our exports are already subject to being tariffs retaliation would have no effect on out exports. Did you vote for Trump?

Trump is for cutting taxes and tariffs. He is also going to kill NAFTA. What’s your point?

Trump is for cutting taxes and tariffs.

1) LOL! Did you read what you just wrote?

2) That's a vague answer to my second question. Now, you owe me an answer to the first question.

:: I voted for Trump, did you? ::

What the HECK kind of question is that? Whether I did or did not, does that change your consideration of me as an American? Really?

I’ll not reveal my personal vote but I will council you on the outcome. Trump won, Hillary conceded and all is right in the Republic.
Additionally, I live in West Texas. Please provide me with your implication regarding for whom I voted.
I’ll not continue this conversation.

... without knowing more...

I’ll be your Huckleberry. What I would like to offer is a little knowledge and history.

In the 1970s when China, Japan and other asian countries got their steel mills on line with modern production, it killed our steel industry because its capacity was huge and its plants were all new having been re-built by us as war recovery occurred.

In the 1990s a similar thing happened with Cement. China had little air pollution regulations and the kilns are a dirty process. Clinkering (the second stage) is dirty as well. So by 2012, China has a big cement capacity and they begin to be able to kill cement production anywhere in the world where they want to ship and dump.

China doesn’t have twice our capacity. It doesn’t have ten times our capacity. No, no no. It has 29 times our capacity in 2012. In fact, those nut jobs have created so much capacity they now control 2/3s of the entire planet’s production of a strategic resource.

So, a complaint about a tax or tariff is probably got a big back story. I don’t know the back story myself, just enough insight to point our joint investigation in the right direction.

You wrote in "private" messaging:

"Ok did you vote for Trump?"

Answer both my questions, leave off the stupid insults, and I'll tell you.
