Ok found it in print, YAY a potus who loves america more than mexico and iran


Days after praising a deal providing tax breaks to a company for keeping jobs in the United States, President-elect Donald Trump is renewing his threat to slap tariffs on the products of companies that move jobs overseas in the future.

"There will be a tax ... soon" of 35% for companies that move overseas and try to sell goods "back across the border," Trump said during a Sunday tweet storm.

Not gonna pass congress - they know we'd get smacked back 35% every time we went to export something to Mexico.

Companies will still reap big profits moving to Mexico no matter how much tax and tariff Trump applies to their goods ... so I'm not see'ng why Trump-voters will be any of the less of stupid sheeple.

Say for instance Carrier who is still moving to Mexico ... Trump will then levy 35% on Carrier because Carrier clowned 'em ... Big Govt. is Carriers' biggest and most important customer ... who get passed along the 35% added cost to the units Dumpf just levied on 'em ... just like you and me ... and we will pay it ..

Because Lennox, Carriers' competitor doesn't make good HVAC's that break down faster amd more expensive to fix than Carrier.

Not really. Companies despise working in environments where they are expected to pay for health care and social services are lacking. They will instead move to places like Canada, which has a much more competitive corporate tax regime, and is also substantially cheaper for manufacturers.

Wishful thinking the cost of manufacturing in the US isnt just regulations and lower taxs. Its the costs to do business the cost of living here is HUGE compared to the outsourced countries that costs. Healthcare costs and social security etc. ALL those things are absent in china and as long as a company can make more they have demonstrated that greed comes before all else.

Nike makes a sneaker in china for 6.00 and sells it here 80.00 if they made it here it would cost 4 times as much lets say. 24.00 no shipping from china and they still sell it for 80 bucks. They went to china

Corporate greed and bottom line that boosts bonus and salaries are Supreme and come before all else

Yes. It is. The government (really federal and some states) have made it too difficult and too expensive to do business here. I do tire of your "greed" nonsense. First, it is juvenile. Second, it is idiotic. Third, it smacks of Marxism.

Trump can lead the Congress to simplify the tax laws and reduce tax rates. He can also lead the Congress is eliminating the enormous regulatory burdens all businesses face. Then business in the US will both grow and new businesses will be created.

If the Republican congress won't pass it Trump should threaten not to give them anything they want either.

Trump is a president. He is not a King. His best move is the one he is going to take. Priority one is the tax and regulations reforms. He does not need tariffs, no should he have them other than possibly to punish currency manipulation. That is an arrow best left in the quiver.

Then while you're at it you can learn the definition of Marxism which means worker control of the means of production and has nothing to do with supporting American industry which offers a living wage to the American people. And finally try reading Article 2 of the Constitution and learn the powers of the executive which includes making judicial nominations:


He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court,

Since President Obama was inaugurated in 2009, the United States has filed 20 enforcement complaints at the World Trade Organization (WTO) – the chief world forum for trade enforcement. That’s more than any other WTO Member.
And the United States has won every single one of those disputes that has been decided by the WTO so far.

Consumers will have less to save and invest in new products, new companies, new jobs of their own free choosing.

From Memoirs of a Trotskyist by Irving Kristol

I was graduated from City College in the spring of 194O, and the honor I most prized was the fact that I was a member in good standing of the Young People's Socialist League (Fourth International). This organization was commonly; and correctly, designated as Trotskyist (not "Trotskiyite," which was a term used only by the official Communists, or "Stalinists" as we called them, of the day). I have not set foot on the City College campus since my commencement. The present president of the college, Robert Marshak, has amiably urged me to come and see the place again – it is very different but still recognizable, he says. I have promised to go, but somehow I think I may never find the time.

If that's a general policy, lower taxes and less regulation, then it's not controlled by the government or the companies as anyone can take advantage of it, use it to remain in the US and keep jobs here, use the savings to invest in new products and new jobs.

This is rich, coming from a guy who won't rent to Black People and Stiffs Contractors and Scams Students.

But that's ok, Trump Supporters will forgive and forget that, that Emails is a bridge too far. :laugh:



If he, as the government, is picking winners and losers it's nothing but unjust corruption. We'll have to wait and see how he plays it.

What is the purpose of a company?

So far so good...


This is a bit tiresome. You may complain all you want. The companies are doing what they must to profit.
Improving the business climate is the solution to our problems. We do not create governments to punish companies. That is totalitarian. I will oppose it.

Again the business climate was just fine under Bush and Reagan, they still preferred using foreign slave labor so spare me your BS.

In your opinion is every other country totalitarian? Do all other countries employ slave labor?

Do you believe China is the only place we outsource to?

What about the Philippines? South Korea? India? Mexico? Do they all employ slave labor?

They employ cheap labor under horrid working conditions with the exception of South Korea.
Kook Alert. Usual suspect.

Yes supporting made in America is radical and supporting outsourcing American jobs to red China is conservative, so goes the newspeak of the Trotskyist neocon globalists.

I want the state to punish companies who enrich communist regimes on the back of slave labor to make a buck while simultaneously screwing over the American working class, you support enriching red China, state run markets, and the use of foreign slave labor with whom the American working man can not possibly compete.

Yes. We have established that you are a totalitarian. We have established that you use Marxian language (constantly). We can add that you like run-on sentences. It does not help your case when your sentence makes no sense.
