First Gentelman.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Read up on tarrifs like did. Pat, I am out of the silo, but it has been interesting.

The concept is, who pays the tarrif, Short an simple.

No, that is not what I am saying. Trump states in his TruthSocial post the the abusing country pays the tarrif. And that is not true. Very simple. BTW, I thought that Biden extending Trumps tarrifs was dumb. Another BTW, does England export any goods to the US. Here is his post again. "I am NOT...

Tump said the abusing country pays the tarrif, that is completely wrong. That is the only point I want to make.

How would that change take place? How long would it take to have everything that we import to be made in the US. How do you force Apple to make those nifty Iphones in the US where labor costs are much higher. China is the clear leadr in manufacturing those type of items. No matter how you cut...

Look around your house and see how many items are made in China. In the US, there are a lot of items. I just wanted to make it as clear and as nsimple as I can: then tell me who pays the tarrif? Trump has stated the he wants to raise tarrifs on everything that comes into the US. It begs the...

Are you saying that Trump is correct in saying the abusing country/manufacturer pays the tarrif? That is completely untrue. Read his text. Smoke and mirrors will not change the fact that the consumer pays for the tarrif.

Pat, my example was simple. But the fact remains the the abusing country does not pay the tarrif whatever the amount, the consumer pays the tarrif, which in effect is a National Sales Tax, except that the consumer pays the importer who has already paid the tarrif.

The point I am trying to make is that the abusing country does not pay the tarrif as Trump claims. We can't tax China, or force them to pay the tarrif. That part is pure BS.

DJT is proposing as much as 60% tarrifs on imported goods. Here is his Truth Socal message on the subject: @realDonaldTrump "I am NOT proposing a National Sales Tax, as the Democrats say in their Advertisements against me. Dems know what they are saying is a blatant lie. I am proposing...

Doc, I agree with you for the most part. But some cannot help the consequences that they are in. I realize that there are those that game the system, but should we punish the true needy to stop those that cheat?

Steve, there are some on welfare, and other less poor people that do pay taxes. There are gradations of wealth. I assume that you do not subscribe to the Christian concept of "my brothers keeper". Don't you think the super rich should pay some more in taxes? What about the sick and infirm...

Against nihilism We live in a time of cynicism about what government can accomplish. Most Americans say they don’t have much trust in Washington, regardless of which party is in charge. Even when the federal government sets out to do something that Americans support, many wonder whether it can...

Yes, I got the same kind of call. Only that they said they were from Microsoft and that a dangerous virus was infectng my machine, and he wanted to have acces to my PC so he could determine the extent of the virous. I asked what he would be looking at, and for him to walke through the process...
