Phase two of tax cuts? How about reducing tariffs?
Increase tariffs. That offsets income tax cuts.
Increase the Tariffs for all I care
Why is it that when I send stuff to China, my customers have to pay duties? But when I buy stuff from China, it just shows up here in my mailbox duty free?
Someone isn’t playing fair in all of this “free trade”
“Phase two of tax cuts? How about reducing tariffs?”
Yes, all the countries we trade with need to cut tariffs on American goods.
We need to increase (regressive)tariffs and decrease (progressive)income taxes. We need to give people a reason to save for the future. Savers have been hammered by globalism.
Dumb idea unless your goal is to de-industrialized the United States and empower Communist China.
If your goal is to destroy the United States with a con job, then yes it is brilliant.
Remember this entire time we had the 0 tariffs where did our jobs go?
Answer: They left and went to China?
Why?
Answer: Because Corporations could sell not to China for free and they would have to pay the tariff. To avoid the tariff they would have to move to China. Which is what the did. Well President Trump is doing the reverse.
Our economy imploded because of 0 tariffs con game.
How come China’s economy grew faster with tariffs when we had 0 tariffs than the U.S.?
How did the U.S. grow with tariffs to be the world’s number 1 Super Power before NAFTA?
Sorry no sale ever again!
Tariffs were phase one of tax increases. Gas tax will be phase two.

Actually, Trump is already talking about doing just that - at the Pittsburgh PA rally the other day.
He said he’d rather not do the tarriffs but we need to do it in order to negotiate better deals. As soon as our trading partners (adversaries) drop their abusive trade policies including barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation and dumping, he will be happy to discuss removing ours.
To me, it’s like when you encounter a car with the high beams on.
There’s nothing good about being blinded by another driver’s high beams, and there’s also nothing good about blinding another driver with your high beams. Either case is bad for both parties, as it could result in a collision.
Yet, the reality is that the quickest way to resolve the issue is to point your high beams in the other drivers eyes to induce him to lower his. Works every time.
I don’t think of it as retaliation; I think of it as negotiation.
