Trump says US may "completely" cut income tax due to tariff revenue

Govt is making money from tariffs?  I see......

How so?

It's the vendor/supplier that shunts the tariff to the consumer...
and every point on the logistic trail gets an excuse to raise their prices too.

ALL on the consumer...

It's the Bank  that 'makes the money' at every turn.

Our government doesn't "own" any money... it's all debt in the name of the citizens.

Does your government "own" it's currency?  Or does the private Bank "manage" your national monetary policy as well?  Do they also refuse the burden of oversight and audit?  Are there "stake holders" anonymous also?

Tariffs are like any other tax... a weapon against the taxed. With force.

That was my point, so yes, I agree.

It's economic ignorance.

Which, I believe, is to be denied.

Tariffs are stupid.

But the turkeys vote for Christmas.

Ooops... sorry about the missed point... my bad.

No worries.  Perhaps, the tariffs, a beautiful word, by the way, so beautiful, might pay for Trump's upcoming war on Venezuela?

WHAT!!??  And deny the bank more billions in "US-flavored" debt?  Unthinkable!
How could they implement global control without debt-leverage?

Tariffs on goods imported into the UK - GOV.UK

If tariffs are so bad, then why is the US the only country that is being pressured not to have them?

Tea and opium?

Oh, and bombs.



But money is better. Except for Andrew, who had to pay strippers with money with his mom's face on it.
