“Gross Ignorance” in global trade? I worked for almost two decades for muti-billion dollar GLOBAL corporations. I understand better than most, the taxes and trade barriers involved in international trade as I had to overcome them on a routine basis. I have had to account for VAT taxes and credit transfers in EU countries, Nota Fiscal documents in Brazil, etc., so I have real life experience in what we are discussion here. Real life experience overcoming the regulations other countries have instituted. And don’t get me wrong, the US is a nightmare for foreign countries to deal with because we have 50 different states, all with regulations that need to be adhered to. Your insults not only prove your ignorance on this topic but failed to deflect from the absurdity of your ramblings. If anyone is ignorant enough to sit out the trade discussion, its you bert. You certainly lack the trade comprehension to start a meaningful debate.
I have fifty years involvement in all aspects of international trade.
You started the insults by asking what I considered to be questions derived from ignorance. You made the greatest insult by questioning my motives.
