[h=5]The U.S. is going to substantially reduce taxes and regulations on businesses, but any business that leaves our country for another country, fires its employees, builds a new factory or plant in the other country, and then thinks it will sell its product back into the U.S. ...... without retribution or consequence, is WRONG!

There will be a tax on our soon to be strong border of 35% for these companies wanting to sell their product, cars, A.C. units etc., back across the border. This tax will make leaving financially difficult, but.....these companies are able to move between all 50 states, with no tax or tariff being charged.

Please be forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake! THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

This was today?

 

How does his Carrier deal work from earlier this week? Does this say he's going back on that?

29 minutes ago........I think he is going to do what he said he was if he can get congress to agree. If he does not do the things he promised he will get voted out so quick you would think his name was Hillary.

What he did earlier this week did not match what he promised. He gave us non supporters some ammo.

 

I do hope he does these things. There is a direct line between his promises and Bernie's that several Americans could get behind.

 

Free market economy goes out the window. :lol2:

I'm certainly no economic historian but has this type of tariff ever worked?

Again, the beauty of Mr Trump is that he can SAY one thing while COMPLETELY doing the opposite and his supporters will completely ignore the contradiction.

Thats on his Facebook page also that I saw today. What you are going to find if he can turn the economy around most people dont care how he does it. They care about $ in their pocket. All about the Benjamin's. One thing about it. He is going to do one of two things. Be the most popular president in history or crash and burn.

@Jesse James you gotta admit the Carrier deal this week is not even close to this tuff :taz: Facebook post.

Bernies policies do not exactly scream free economy either. Example a mandated $15 a hour min wage just for starters.

Exactly. Trumpers and the millennials are closer than they want to admit.

Hellcats I dont know what was said in the meetings. It may not be like this. But whether me and you agree on this is not what is seen. Whats seen is Trump stopped it. Especially to the people who were losing their jobs. Things like this can drive his popularity even higher and probably already has. I think people like him going rogue on stuff. For example the Taiwan call. Most dont give a rats rear end about if China's feelings are hurt, I know I dont. What we have been doing for years is not what everyone wants. Thats pretty clear.

Tariffs in United States history - Wikipedia

 

Interesting review of Tariffs. More things change the more they stay the same. Rural citizens want protection and elect presidents who want high tariffs is a common theme.

I have no idea Clyde. I am learning that we are living in a much different time than we were several years ago and things work much differently now.

 

Example if you had told me Trump would have beaten Clinton with the tactics he used to win 3 years ago I would have laughed and said you were crazy. I would have said you are not living in the real world. If you had told me a guy who had never ran for a office would beat the best career politicians at their own game in the Rep primary I would have laughed in your face and said you were crazy etc. So for me to dismiss this not to work at this point might be a little premature given what we have seen lately dont you think?

 

So I will deduct from all this the "real world" that I thought existed does not exist anymore.

So you think he told them that if they move the 1300 jobs to Mexico that are still going they will face the tariff he promised?

If he did kudos. If he didn't well...

 

We will just ignore the tax incentives he said wouldn't happen.
