Quote:I think the idea is to create a business friendly environment. This by itself is the establishment playbook, but coupled with an anti-trade agreement stance (non-establishment stance), maybe it would work. I would hope the idea is to remove the benefit of foreign factories with slave labor wages and increase benefit of factories returning to this country.

I hear this term, business friendly environment, alot. It's a crock. Lowering the tax rate on a business sounds great in theory. It's been proven over 3 decades to be total hogwash. A lower tax rate is pocketed by the elite and then distributed back to themselves in the form of dividends.


This is a fact that one cannot dispute. If anyone is truly sick of the establishment, then trump's speech on Monday should worry you. He's basically sold us out to the establishment and the wealthy.


The idea of collapsing free trade would have no effect on the fact that trickle down economics doesn't work. I'm sorry, badger, but I just don't see it, other than wishful thinking.
