This 'non-profit' scam's used by elites to dilute the power of everyday citizens. And no, I don't care if the name is Koch or Soros... I'm sick of giving the uber rich tax breaks to decrease MY VOICE and the voices of other citizens.
Let elites do their bit on their own dime - not subsidized by the 'little people'.
I am of two minds on this one.
First, of course, I am sick of the Cheap Labor Express, and all of the RINOs who have - and continue to - support it. I am particularly ticked off that they have CONTINUED to side with the Dems, one-worlders, etc. (all arms of the same octopus) against Trump.
OTOH, I am not thrilled with the idea of import taxes, etc. Those are not economically sound policies, and will make goods more expensive to consumers and businesses. There is probably a better way to pay for The Wall.
Speaking of which (i.e. The Wall), why do we have to have Mexico pay for it? I’m not particularly enamored by Mexico, nor paid by them or anyone employed/hired by its government, but either the thing is in our interest or it is not. I am very much in the group of people who believe that it IS in our interest to have The Wall put up as soon as practically possible. Why? For a variety of reasons from security, purity of voting and economics. But if we just concentrate on the economic reality, it pays to put the thing up ASAP because we’ll have less to pay for welfare, food stamps, free education, free medical and crime (which has MANY costs involved, not all monetary) as each day passes. Additionally, we’ll have less jobs taken from US citizens by Mexicans (and others, for that matter). IOW, it pays for itself. Also, less Mexicans here means less money flowing to Mexico from remittances...so, in a sense, Mexico WILL be paying for it (albeit indirectly).
Just build it, the savings to our economy will pay for it in short order. Waiting for Mexico to pay for it is not the best policy, IMHO. Put it up, and let Mexico deal with its own problems more or less by itself.

It's not "proposed", you dimwit lib. The construction of the wall was authorized by The Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was signed into law by George W Bush. President Trump is merely completing it.
“...a move that could complicate the lawmakers’ efforts to find a way to pay for President Donald Trump’s proposed wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.”
Well, we could always just seize Tijuana, raze it and build condos.
Crap like this is why I no longer support tax cuts for rich and for corporations. They are just gong to have to respond to the concerns of the rest of us.

Border tax = more economical and competitive to manufacture in USA = more items manufactured in USA = more middle class jobs in manufacturing USA = higher wages in a full time job with BENEFITS instead of 2 part time jobs in retail with no benefits and low wages.
99% of workers in manufacturing would gladly pay 20% more with 50% higher wages than in part time jobs.
Thank you for assembling all of this information. Will come in handy for me!
