Most Trumpsters would call all of these taxes socialist rubbish if anyone but “the Donald” were proposing them. Again, the Trump fanatics are attaching themselves to the man, not the policies he actually represents.
Not me! We cannot, and never could, compete with third world slave labor controlled by corrupt Marxist dictators. Personally, I am all in favor of raising tariffs to level the playing field. Indeed, in the interest of national defense, we need to do so. What do you think is going to happen if we are ever forced into another world war with our industrial infrastructure gone? What we have done is utter insanity. The sooner we bring our industrial base back, put our own people back to work, and protect our own markets the better. There will come a point when this drain of capital and infrastructure will destroy us, we are already quite crippled.
Tax penalties for ditching American soil to exploit slave labor a bad thing? Since when?
You are taking advise from the New York Times (aka the Communist Times) and the GOPe. That ALONE.... should be a BIG RED FLAG to you.
SO you think it’s good,
the United State pays taxes, in the form of tariffs, to China and Mexico right now in the current trade agreements? You think that’s good????
While at the very same time...., the United States does not charge them any taxes.
You think it’s good when China manipulates their currency in order to increase their exports to us? While at the very same time it makes it even hard for the United States to export to China. You think that is good too?
Oh and we STILL PAY TAXES to China and Mexico on top of the ILLEGALLY MANIPULATED currency? And you think THAT IS GREAT! WHAT A DEAL!
You must think its great too that American Companies are encouraged to leave the United States by the Feds, move to China, Mexico or they will be punished in the form of regulations (like the Coal industry) if they don’t fire American workers for SLAVE LABOR OVERSEAS and move out of the country?
But you think it’s good for the United States loses jobs, and bring more government regulation jobs, to run the remaining companies our, and bring in more minimum wage fast food jobs?
You think that is BRILLIANT, and you support?
I guess if your goal is to destroy the United States and fool people, then yes it’s brilliant.
The only way you have “free” trade is ONLY when everyone is playing by the same rules. Anything else is a RIGGED trade deal.
Just like the game of Poker. Everyone plays by the same rules. You can not win a rigged poker game. Where one side gets away with murder and the other side is punished to the max.
