Yup.
The point here is for economic recovery, Trump needs to put more emphasis on tax cuts and abolishing minimum wage, useless, dead-end regulations, and union protection.
True all that, but also better trade deals. Trump is right: We are getting hammered on trade.
Pay attention, Kudlow. You’re a has-been trying to be an is-now by feeding at the Bush trough.
Please go away and take your master with you.
Looks like Trump`s plan has a 1% minimum tax...but I’m hoping the gibsmedats lose bennies or have to pay tax on them
You want to know the truth? Most voters eyes glaze over when confronted with these statistics. They want to hear rhetoric and fill in the details later.
Kudlow loves illegal labor. Of course he’s in the bag for Yeb.
Jeb is like the worm in the bottle of Tequila, you have to drink an awful lot of liquor before you can make yourself accept him.
Yinz all know my disdain for Jeb, but that is not a bad tax plan. I hope it also includes forcing the EITC crowd to pay SOME level of tax. Right now they have no skin in the game and thus demand everything.
Is it sellable to the American Public? I don’t know. Right now there’s an awful lot of bloodlust out there to stick it to “the rich”.
I take this with the usual grain of salt. Kudlow is, for sure, part of the GOPe’s yes-man crowd. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a brilliant guy...but he knows where his bread is buttered. I don’t know much about Moore, but I suspect that he’s not much different in this respect.
Its just more of the expected post-Labor Day “smack down Trump” efforts of the GOPe.
You are not wrong. There’s a reason why the Founders had people ineligible to vote unless they were 21 and owned property - because those people had skin in the game, they were contributing members of society. When someone pays in nothing, yet receives a lot, who are they going to vote for EVERY TIME?
Trade wars are not the answer. Less federal government is the answer.
No more Buses. We’re Bushed.
But Trump needs to pay attention to something here. For economic recovery, Trump needs to put more emphasis on tax cuts and abolishing minimum wage, useless, dead-end regulations, and union protection.
“Trade wars are not the answer.”
Calling getting a fair deal for American companies and Americans a “trade war” is the milquetoast attitude as to why we have lost all trade agreements.
I love Larry, though I fervently disagree with him on immigration, but his type has no idea of what sells in presidential campaign. Promising a 4% growth target is nothing to most voters more than noise. Specific economic policies can make a difference, but a stated growth target just doesn’t move people to vote.
(The one exception may be my own dull state of CT, where Larry is likely to run for senate. He’d certainly be as good a senator as the state could have hope of getting elected.)
I think you are absolutely right. Everyone should pay something, or they should lose the right to vote until they do start paying taxes.
Tariffs are themselves a milquetoast “solution.” They are a tax. More federal government interference that does more harm than good and absolutely fails to address root causes. All tariffs do is increase prices for the American consumer who is the loser on this deal.
And yes, tariffs lead to useless, dead-end trade wars which, again hurts the consumer and the economy.
I agree...but being too upfront about the union part during the campaign - I’d like to see him peel off a lot of traditional Dem voters.
Having said that, I found nothing in Jeb's editorial that makes me believe he can deliver on his plan.
“tariffs lead to useless, dead-end trade wars which, again hurts the consumer and the economy.”
Foreign countries have high tariffs on US goods and we let them do that. I don’t see trade wars happening when foreign countries levy tariffs. I don’t think there is a country out there that lets us sell more to them than they sell to us.
Why is that since their tariffs and restrictions work but
you claim it wouldn’t work for us?
We need strong leaders capable of making good trade deals, like Trump can, not you and your milquetoast buddies in the eGOP that screw Americans by allowing companies to bring in cheap foreign goods while accepting that American made goods should be restricted from foreign trade.
China: For every $1 America brings in, China only allows 28 cents of American goods to be sold into China. I don’t see a trade war with China happening as you claim tariffs do.
Mexico: High tariffs as much as 50% on American goods. I don’t see a trade war with Mexico happening as you claim tariffs do.
I could go on and on and on about high tariffs on American goods, and not a single trade war exists.
No, trade wars happen when BOTH countries think tariffs are a good idea. As long as one country realizes tariffs are an exercise in futility, there won’t be a trade war. In that case, only the country raising the tariffs is causing its own self-inflicted wounds.
