Japan: Sells the USA 2 million cars, but only allows about 13,000 American cars to be imported into Japan. It isn't because American cars are not in demand, they are in high demand, it is because Japan has import restrictions the USA doesn't impose on Japan.
Doesn’t matter. Bush couldn’t get Elected Dog Catcher in the General Election.
Bush may be responsible for putting the Sleep Aid Drug Manufacturers out of Business though.
Worth repeating.
Please define "growth".
If you mean increased profit in the banking/financial sector based on their ability to emit bills of credit while the number of Americans with no jobs continues to grow, f*** it.
You people don’t understand freedom nor the free market which is simply freedom in action. Like the Left, you don’t trust freedom. Like the Left, you think government is the answer and should control free action in the marketplace. Like the Left, you’ll never understand that government interference in the free market does more harm than good.
Stupid statements like “dumping” for instance. What does that mean? It means you don’t understand that if there was no CONSUMER DEMAND for goods from China they wouldn’t be able to “dump” anything. Have you addressed WHY there’s consumer demand for goods from China? No. All you want to do is curtail consumer demand. Well, you’ve come to the right place because if there’s one thing government is good at, it’s forcing its will on others. Sad that you people call yourselves “conservatives.”
Sure. Hey if they’re going to shoot themselves in the foot why shouldn’t we? It isn’t fair if we can’t shoot ourselves in the foot just as much as they can. I’m for fairness. Equal stupidity and equal pain.
“He’d return to the top personal income tax rate of 28% that America had when Ronald Reagan left office.”
The Tax reform Act of 1986 was the biggest tax increase in our history.
It wiped out 30 years of tax planning and screwed the economy.
You Free Traitors are going to kill us all economically. I wouldn’t piss on you even if you were on fire.
Look up real economic growth if you don’t know what it means.
Some factors: real median family income growth and shrinkage of interest rates, inflation, and unemployment.
I think I see your problem. It isn't that ugly tie you have on.
Pound sand Pal. People like you don’t trust nor understand freedom. Freedom-hating “conservative.” Rots a ruck.
Your idea of freedom is letting everyone eat our lunch. The country is doomed useless Free Traitor scum bastards are thrown into the dust bin of history.
ONLY if you repeal the 16th Amendment first. Otherwise you’re not cutting taxes, you’re ADDING taxes to the income tax. As long as the 16th Amendment is in place the feds will always be able to hit you with income tax.
And the straightforward proposal of a tariff for the purpose of taxation is entirely different from the convoluted proposal a tariff for the purpose of “helping” our economy.
The only people that are eating your lunch are the $4 trillion, mostly unconstitutional feds. If you don’t get that you don’t get anything.
A tariff raises revenue and helps domestic manufactures a win/win.
A tariff raises PRICES TO THE AMERICAN CONSUMER (lose) and GOVERNMENT REVENUE SO THEY CAN WASTE MORE OF YOUR MONEY (lose). It’s lose/lose. The Left loves lose/lose.
So when a manufacturer moves his factory off shore and realizes a 5% reduction in production cost does that 5% get passed on to the retailer? If so, does the retailer pass on that 5% to the consumer?
Or, does that 5% go to the stock holder of the manufacturer and the bottom line? Well?
My opinion the consumer and the tax payer are subsiding the "cheap coolie" of off shore labor.
Where in your delusional mind do you get that I’m for a progressive income tax.
If you think business opportunity, which is what companies MUST and SHOULD look for, is the same as progressive income tax then welcome to the Marxist School of Economics.
Like the POS Free Traitor you are, you continue to obfuscate and dodge. You are slimy gloBULList.
