having thought more on the tariffs and who it is specifically opposing them, this is all i can come to the thought of, rationally.

if your enemy spends his every waking moment trying every conceivable way to stop you from doing something, you can be sure that this thing will be a significant problem for him.

I literally voted for this. I absolutely refuse to be like the boomers who sold out future generations for short term gains. I'm okay with cutting luxuries out of my life if it means my grandkids actually have a future.

I can't stand the revisionist history happening with The Great Depression in the 1930's and Tariffs. The number of shitskin posts I've seen in the last 48 hours about how "Tariffs caused The Great Depression!" that are patently and demonstratively false. Even for someone who thinks this current tact is retarded.

Hoover put those tariffs in AFTER the depression began to staunch the bleed. Not before. What ACUTALLY happened was:

• 1918 Flu Pandemic
• 1919-1927 - Massive government spending to stimulate and grow businesses and the economy after the pandemic. Causing an artificially inflated economy and businesses spending money they didn't actually have in equity or value. That was why the 20's were "roaring".
• 1928- The debt businesses were under began to catch up with them. The economy was as falsely inflated as it could be and they could no longer service the debt. The crash begins.
• 1930 - Hoover implements the Smoot-Hawley tariffs.

Whats eye opening here, Kiwis. This pattern is repeating.

2020- Pandemic
2021 - Early 2025 Massive government spending to stimulate and grow businesses and the economy after the pandemic. Causing an artificially inflated economy and businesses spending money they don't have in equity or value.

Also, The years before the 1928 crash saw 3 Republican presidents, all of whom were very anti regulation and free market friendly. It didn't help at all, and after the depression, it was a loooong time before we let someone like that run the place again.

I'm just glad to hear that all these countries are so very worried about HOW these tariffs will hurt.
Since the crying libs say it's going to hurt the USA, it must mean all these countries really ARE our friends and just trying to stage an intervention

Are you really incapable of figuring out how paying 25% more for everything, with wages staying the same, is going to hurt?

Guy thinks raising corp taxes rates to 90% will make them want to stay in the USA. Get a load of this...

They will. Instead you think corporations should not have to pay taxes and that your taxes should be raised so that Elon and Apple don't have to pay any taxes. It's okay, we know you're intellectually disabled and worship billionaires like a good little MAGA retard

We should also not forget "overabundance of agricultural goods sent to Europe and the market started drying up in like 1925, causing farm failures"

Teaching kids to not eat candy now so they get extra candy later was a lesson for toddlers, adults apparently need to relearn it, as well as the pain of growing trees whose shade you won't enjoy.

NO MY NUMBER MUST GO UP NOW NOW NOW

Loomer is a nutter but she also has been on the ball lately. Clearly there are some bad eggs that snuck into the system that need to be flushed.

His like some monster from an urban legend. Don’t say Hulkster 3 times in the bathroom mirror at night or he will come talk to you nonstop about how bad Trump is!!! Spooky!

Yeah, but then you can kick him in the junk, so it is worth it.

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

This is the guy that lectures you about not understanding the economy btw.

That's rich coming from the guy who thinks that 35% tariffs won't increase prices and that everyone having to pay more for stuff won't hurt them

It seriously works. It worked in the 50s but your constant mindless consuming of Fox News has you convinced that corporations and billionaires are your friend like a good little simpleton

 

[mlanguishi]

I don't like responding to you, but nice straw man. Explain why corps would want to stay in a place that taxes them nearly totally instead of bailing. In the 50s there wasn't the same globalization that made it so easy.

A big reason that changed was the high corp tax rates you love. But you're just flinging insults and straw man arguments as usual.

ETA pining for the 50s is probably the most basic boomer take imaginable.

That "massive government spending" was actually a huge pullback from the war spending of 1917-1918.

You really think that Tim Cook is going to move Apple to some shithole country because of a higher tax rate? Even for a guy who thinks that a conman who bankrupted 6 casinos is the best businessman ever you're a retard. How do you even complete basic tasks?

yeah she's off on mars but sometimes she's got some real dirt, so don't base your life on her teachings but receipts are receipts, even if the crazy cat lady brings them

Theres a reason why so many major companies have their formal corporate headquarters in Ireland

View attachment 7172128

The money for the war was going to money for a war. Not to artificially inflate the worth of businesses internally on value that didn't exist. Of course spending dropped after the war. That's what happens when the war ends. I'm talking about the allocation of spending internally.

Higher corporate taxes, like tariffs, will be placed on the consumer. Unlike taxes, higher tariffs could stimulate growth in certain markets.
