They’ve decided we can tax our way to prosperity.

What a dishonest comment considering the corporate tax rate was just slashed by 15%.

Businesses have more capital than they did before Trump become President.

Maybe Schumer can be Trump’s VP in 2020?

Schumer opposed cutting corporate taxes, opposed pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord and opposed slashing EPA regulations.

Stop having a hissy fit and lying about Trump's policies.

Tariffs aren't Marxism—they existed long before that abomination. They also happen to be Constitutional from the very beginning of our Constitutional government, and they don't invade privacy and turn people into slaves like Marxist income taxes do...

Little or nothing to say about Smoot-Hawley.

Not the best use of the picture I agree. As I recall he decided the American Bank that failed triggered the depression after the Fed failed to prop it up. I remember watching his series explaining it, but that was a few years back.

Too late. They’ve decided we can tax our way to prosperity.

Let's see, charging others more for a service because they charge you more for the same service is a bad thing ... letting them bleed you w/o having the same accountability is a good thing....that sounds almost like the Dems philosophy on illegal invasions - let the illegal invaders have free access at great expense and don't do anything to tip that apple-cart....because sacrifice for the "common good" (and deterioration of a once sovereign nation) is a noble way to go down.
