Ibleedbrown Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 I kinda like tariffs. To an extent. The Boston Tea Party was fueled by tariffs. If not for tariffs, we would have no Boston Tea Party. Tariffs help balance the scales. Plus, the word tariffs sounds more awful the more you say it. 1 Quote

I’m supporting your view that tariffs have their place in the world, or so l thought. The title of the thread is literally “TARIFFS are an excellent tool”. I agree! It’s not our fault that the word “tariffs” sounds more ridiculous the more you say it. Quote
cccjwh Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 Tariffs are taxes. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/23/politics/nobel-prize-economists-harris-economic-plan/index.html Twenty-three Nobel Prize-winning economists signed onto the letter, including two of the three most recent recipients. “While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we believe that, overall, Harris’ economic agenda will improve our nation’s health, investment, sustainability, resilience, employment opportunities, and fairness and be vastly superior to the counterproductive economic agenda of Donald Trump,” the economists write in the letter obtained by CNN.

It’s not our fault that the word “tariffs” sounds more ridiculous the more you say it. Boston Tea Party was not in the title of the thread. That happened because the colonists were po'd about being unfairly taxed without representation. It had nothing to do with using tariffs to even the playing field with other countries. The Boston Tea Party happened as a protest against British taxation policies, specifically the Tea Act of 1773. The American colonists believed they were being unfairly taxed without representation in the British Parliament, leading to the iconic event where tea was dumped into Boston Harbor in defiance. It was to enable the British gov to have a monopoly on the sales of tea. That tax was NOT a tariff. Here is the definition of a tariff: Tariff A tariff is a tax imposed by the government of a country or by a supranational union on imports or exports of goods. Besides being a source of revenue for the government, import duties can also be a form of regulation of foreign trade and policy that taxes foreign products to encourage or safeguard domestic industry. Wikipedia *************************** so the tax was not on imports or exports. It was the opposite. Quote

Whoreta? I say, and 100+ economists say... Tariff Trump is full of shit... Change his sinking diaper already. Cal.. You're conveniently forgetting 1) When Trump imposed his wonderful tariffs, other countries retaliated. DUH!!! Or did you forget that we had to bail out farmers- to the tune of $20 billion because genius thought tariffs were a great idea. 2) LOL, hit China with 600% tariffs... Probably not his Bibles though. Manufacturing will flock back to the good old USA? You think those new factories are going to pop up instantaneously like mushrooms after a rain? He's fucking clueless Cal... Ever notice where that stuff in the produce section comes from? FYI, we don't grow bananas in the USA, and a shit ton of our fruit is grown in Mexico. Or, go look at the sticker on a "new" car and see what percentage of it isn't USA manufactured. We live in a world economy now Cal- but Trump hasn't gotten the message yet. We "don't stand alone" anymore. Not surprising as DJT's Dunning Kreuger syndrome is on full display yet again. Knows more about economics than PhD economists. Knows more about medicine than doctors- I wish he would have taken his advice and injected some bleach. Knows more about military strategy than his generals. Wake up America, this guy belongs in a memory care unit, not the White House. 2 Quote

It's amazing how you people on the left don't understand inflation. We've had the worse inflation under Biden. Inflation has flattened back out to normal levels "but guess what jack?" Prices are still astronomically high because we need 'deflation' to return to levels like when it was good under Trump. $2.59 for gas still isn't great, you just been taking it up the ass for so long you don't know the difference anymore. But by all means, keep voting for trash. Quote

But you accept your Orange Messiah as the AntiChrist... Would you like some references? Damn, there's a blog posting examples on a fairly regular basis. You supporting this sleazebag at this point is laughable. Owes E Jean money for raping her. Paid off Stormy hush money. 26 allegations of sexual harassment. Bought the Trump Bible? Made in China? He's a huckster, and he's got tens of millions believing his horsesiht. You're apparently one of them. DJT alternate reality exists, and you're living in it. Quote
