Stock market drops over a year before the election are not going to impact the election. They need to work on their timing. They had it DOWN SOLID in 2008.

Tariffs are bad? People will rationally buy products cheaper than Chinese imports. The red Chicoms don’t have a monopoly on any goods except rare earth metals.

Farmers can be subsidized for a few years to offset their market loss. Food can be stored or redistributed. Venezuela certainly needs humanitarian food. It’s not like farmers haven’t subsidized before. The crappy ethanol mandate in our gas made Iowa farmers rich at our expense.

The Donald’s trade war is a twofer win. Weakens China and strengthens America.

The corrupt media twists the truth and lies in almost every news story to be damaging to Trump, nothing new here.

This tax increase that has everyone’s panties in a twist is a rounding error.

Very true, but that fact doesn't fit the MSM agenda. They would prefer to convince the general public, especially the coddled Snowflakes, that capitalism is evil and Socialism is the answer to everything, including international trade. No Socialist regime has survived as long as capitalism has thrived in the US. Social experiments, from New Harmony, to Cuba, to today's Venezuela, have all failed, and history is strewn with their wreckage. But, as Bernie would say, "We'd do it right!" Yeah, Bernie, like you're the sharpest knife that been in the drawer for the past 250 years. Capitalism got us to be the #1 economy on the planet, but the Leftist want to start over and turn the US into Venezuela.

Idiots...

“But by 1928, tariffs had started to fade away as a major political question in the country, as the national income tax replaced tariffs as a source of federal revenue.“

We Americans pride ourselves for our freedom. We have many strengths also but the desire for freedom is the greatest.

Not so for the Chinese. They have 4,000 years of pride in their ability to buy and sell, anything. Their merchant class is their highest aspiration.

The Chinese have “seeded” all of SE and E Asia (except Japan) with ethnic Chinese enclaves, more or less merchant franchises. Those enclaves from Singapore to Australia to the Philippines, etc., will simply resell Chinese goods without US tariffs. It’s already happening.

Chinese wack-a-mole.

Really Brett? Any sane person long ago concluded they are lying about practically everything. Their main function generally seems to be to spike any news stories that make Democrats look bad, near as I can tell.
