Trumpist protectionists would have no one to blame but themselves.
Unfortunately, the rest of us would have to suffer through it, too.
The Smoot-Hawley tariffs of the 1930s reduced US imports and exports by 65%.
Not a good article or source. Not worthy of sharing.
The American People want only enough money to pay their bills and feed their families, and have healthcare....
Trump is the “American Dream” he worked his way to where he is now, and will show us how to do that for us...
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
Article with “could” in the title, drink!
I’m truly glad Ted won Iowa because he is going to need to cling to that memory in the next several months. It starts Tuesday in NH. :-)
Winning Iowa is the kiss of death for American presidential candidates. Cruz is now snake bit. In a couple of years no-one will remember his name except he’ll be fighting for last place with Santorum.
You want to see jobs?
You want personal freedom and money in your pocket?
Then let Cruz abolish ObamaCare and the IRS.

That is how it’s done - not by ‘making the deal’ - especially the way Trump does it - by buying off the devil. The devil always comes back for his pound of flesh. (and just how did any of Trumps “deals” with Hillary, Pelosi, Reid etc benefit YOU or our country?)

There is nothing “Reaganesque†about a 16% VAT tax. Reagan correctly called VAT taxes the worst of all taxes, because they are invisible and hurt businesses and consumers alike.
________________________________________________________
Well if the Cruz business tax is a VAT then the current Corp taxes are also a VAT.
the biggest thing is that it get rid of special set asides. While the business can no longer deduct wages when paying taxes, they also no longer have to pay the 1/2 of the payroll tax they currently pay.
Overall it scores as about a 100B/yr tax cut but the pro growth effect would create far more jobs.
The provisions where exports are’t taxed combined with the taxing of imports would bring a lot of manufacturing back to the US.
Bears repeating.
Cruz business tax is a VAT tax. No thank you.
Who do you think will actually pay it?
And hopefully, a moderator that will actually call on him and give him a chance to speak....During the whole half of the last debate, he was called ONCE.
The theme of that debate was to put the focus on the 'three governors"
Why? to boost their numbers in order to take away from Cruz. It worked for them in the debate before when the pumped up RUBIO every day before the Iowa caucus - and then headlined him as the big winner - at third place - until this debate.
Get it yet?
The GOPe, the libs an the media are scared to death of a PRESIDENT CRUZ' - who would clip their wings.
Cruz is great one on one. It’s amazing how he can turn a voter around by calm reasoning and logic.
This is not a VAT tax like they have in Europe, which is why Cruz’s tax plan scores so high for economic recovery. The 16% flat tax on business replaces the much higher corporate and payroll taxes and allows businesses to deduct the full cost of improvements and expenses in the year they are incurred.
As for being invisible, the much higher corporate and payroll taxes are paid by the consumer now.
A few months ago, when Donald Trump referred to Carson as pathological and compared him to a child molester, Carson had nothing to say. He was completely impotent. And in fact, his numbers tanked shortly thereafter
Carson is a coward. He’s tried to trash Cruz because Cruz is a gentleman. He did not stand up to Donald.
Donald is the person who actually killed his campaign.
I lose the respect I had for Carson more every day .. and so does everyone else.
BS! All Cruz was is talking points. Memorized bull shi!. Sounds good to anyone stupid not to realize just talk talk talk and more talk. Idiots would believe the same crap are stupid.
Even Trump is stuck with same talking points. The only thing true is Trump would kick the GOPe and the communists Democrats in the ass. That would be worth it. Sick of the same old crap from the Feds.
Trump people here have their marching orders. They are pinged to show up like the deadly roach or mosquito on any thread favorable to Cruz.
They are inarticulate cultists but they are enjoying themselves.
I don’t believe I can vote for Trump. What he’s done to his cult of supporters scares me.
I don’t know whether to compare them to Hitler’s followers or those of David Koresh.
It’s not normal.
well that rant certainly belies you screen name.
Stalking, again? LOL.
We know exactly which pack-hounds howl and gather (ping each other), on threads....and it’s not Trump supporters.
Now, slither back into your dank, dark hole - with YOUR fellow cultists. I’m done ‘talking’ with you, remember? You just can’t cut that cord, so I will.
