When you've lost CATO . . .
The Cato Institute’s Julian Sanchez summarized matters nicely: “It is so, so bizarre that the core of Trump’s policy agenda is based on just lying about how tariffs work at the most basic, 101 level imaginable. It’s not controversial. It’s not even complicated. It’s just a lie. It’s like saying income taxes are paid by leprechauns.”

Trump never had the Koch Bros in the first place, Milton.
They are in favor of slave labor just like you and your Democrats, be it by foreign kids in sweatshops or illegals who don’t pay income taxes in the USA.
I remember when you hysterical lunatics hated the Kochs.
-
The panic in the streets at the mere mention of gutting the income tax speaks volumes
-
Koch Bros have a basic grounding in economics.
Daddy is just full of shit.

“Now we like the Koch Bros”
I already said this, dumbass.
It’s difficult to lose something you never had in the first place. Another retarded thread from the pro-sweatshop poster H.

Its crazy right? The whole world punishes the USA with tariffs but it doesn't work according to Julian Sanchez, a man who has talked chit about Conservatives his entire career. A "journalist who specializes in politics, privacy and technology (with occasional forays into pop culture and philosophy)", supposedly educating liberals about tariffs.
Brilliant source hh, just brilliant.
Anyone who has lived or stayed for long periods of time in a foreign country knows what tariffs have done to made in the USA products. My South American co-workers tried everything imaginable to purchase their electronic gifts and necessities here in the US and get them shipped back to their South American homes without detection and extreme "tariff" taxation. In Bogota, a Ford Focus sold for $65,000 back in 2012. You could have bought that car for less than $20K here. In Portugal, an American built Mustang sold for 95K back in 2008. A BMW there sold for less than half.
Tariffs seem to be working fine for foreign countries. hh has found a nice liberal source who is trying to make points against Trump by lying his ass off.

I have to like them now?
I simply said they aren't idiots. Too high a bar for Daddy.

Business income taxes are a cost of doing business, just like rent or interest on business loans. They all factor into the cost of the product sold. Our mythical MBA doesn't seem to understand this basic principle. Somehow not surprising. The dazzler supports increasing business income taxes because ….? Tariffs instituted to insure fair trade are somehow different because ….?

You said Trump lost them. It’s in the thread title. Good job!
Libertarian think tank funded by corporatists hates tariffs. Breaking news!! -
Daddy has proposed replacing all income taxes with tariffs, Gasbag.
-
He didn’t propose it. He threw it out there as an idea. It would never happen and he didn’t say he’s going to do it, Liar.
-
Concepts of ideas of a plan?
-
I'm old enough to remember when the press threw a hissy fit over Trump's tarriffs while inflation was around two percent.
-
It's around 2% now.
-
closer to 3, and it was over 9 two years ago

Dazzler meltdowns are the best!
He'll drown his sorrows in the Tenderloin at the Hole in the Wall Saloon where he'll actually be the hole in the wall…
-
So use the DOJ to go after your opponents on bogus charges that you avoided and claim 14th ammendment that doesn't apply
And to think I call them retarded
-
Think out loud is no longer allowed. Next you'll advocate for thought crimes.
-
I have to say that it will be very entertaining on January 20 when HH has to call Trump daddy for real…
