Quote:stop just stop with the if we let ____ win it's the end of America and the establishment of the North American Union and or Communist America, that hyperbole has been used by the GOP for a decade now its old and it doesn't work.
You want me to support the GOP candidate then damn it they better run someone that is a free market champion and ready to roll government back. Trump is not that so no I won't support him, yes Hilary will probably win because there's a lot just like me out there, and no it won't be the end of America it'll just be another 4 miserable years but hell we've had 16 so what's another 4!?
Back to your topic points:
If someone builds a factory here we should offer them the lowest if not net zero tax rates to instinctive them building their products here. We should offer them a robust working class that isn't suffocating under mountains of taxes, we should offer them unfettered access to the wealthiest population in the world. If someone in China is building something and wants to sell it here we should offer them the same damn thing and if we tax their goods when they are purchased who gives a flying flip where the damn thing's put together anyway. But telling ME to pay a TAX on imported goods because Trump doesn't like the way they do business in China (never mind he's been doing business in China and making billions off it for decades) screw that.
China has adopted the idiocy that Trump is purporting here, we already manipulate currency ( I don't think I have to spell that out to anyone here), we already have socialized most of the private sector, we already tax the living [BAD WORD REMOVED] out of everything, and the "conservative" option is now telling me we need to establish MORE taxes to fight unfair practices abroad!? I can't believe people are buying this!!! If you add a tax on imported goods you'll see a monumental increase in the cost of living at a time when the working class is barely holding it together. I'm not ready for a 45% increase on everything are you?
Lowering corporate tax rates: Check. Lowering income tax rates? Check! Cutting regulations? Check! Cutting back regulations? Check. Rolling back government? Check, sending education back to the states, 1% annual cuts until we are brought back into balance and already talked about regulatory reform! Everything we both want. Lowering the repatriation rate? Check!
We are having a conversation about a potential tax on a countries imports we both agree is screwing us? Really? Is the 800 billion dollars we loose on annual trade that important to the economy? That's the definition of conservatism now a days "We have to make a suicide pact not to enforce any standards on our trading partners otherwise you are a big government loon?"
Instead of a threat of a tariff to bring China back into compliance you are going to go with higher corporate taxes, higher income taxes, more regulations, more than likely a universal tax on energy, unfettered immigration and foreign companies dumping as much product as they want here.
That must be some bunker...
