internet guy like buzz word, hate guy who do not like buzz word because him other tribe
you also hate buzz word and guy from other tribe?
yes? based lol.
maybe if you could make an actual sentence I would understand half of what you tried to say.
trump supporters like buzz words. (tariffs)
they listen to gospel of internet manosphere gurus and trump. and hate liberals/lefts because of it.
one right winger to another: "do you also hate "(nsert buzzword like woke or tariffs) and liberals?"
"yes? based lol".
poland shipped them their finest polka dots in response. they added a note, too: "textiles hold value, you know?"
the king had this changed to "textiles have value, do you not know?" despite it being clearly written in plain english, "textilleS hatH valU S'Noth Eid'el'HEIM ?" including one polka dot textile piece where the english translation and the polish version and the common english and high envlish and comon translation "Textiles HOLD VALUE, You Know?" were both carved into the cloth with an irregularly serrated knife. the specific coloration of this textile piece just so happened to match English reprints of the Roesetta Stone translation, including the profanity typically left out of translations of the Roestta Stone.
go look it up; the way in which the stone itself mentioned its own censorship is relatively well recognized. as well as english publishing deciding to decry "posh" polish translation. as well as their translation efforts, much to the frustration of most of extant english intelligencience at the time.
buzzword, it a word we don't have and we like to keep it that way.
a buzzword is just like a tariff? a word to disguise what it actually is.
so buzzwords are destructive, like a chainsaw or a wasp.
or "a man who has lit a bee hive on fire an thrown'ed it upon the Commonwealth."
So, even setting aside the argument that Trump is imposing tariffs on countries that have enjoyed free trade with the USA while imposing tariffs of their own for years if not decades on USA made product, can you provide a single reason why we should be in favour of a tax that will hit across the board, affecting every single product (since corporations would just pass the burden on the consumer) instead of tariffs being imposed just on foreign products?
can you explain this part in more detail, please?
The US is a slush fund for European investment; as assuredly as the Dutch blnd the German eye, so too will the English seed amemoritize the Foreign commonwealth; and, aye, if thoust draw it from mine tongue, I refer to the Timber of a Continent rend'red Defenseless; not by the grace of Conquest ann'd, its actuality rendered commonplace as unto a milkmaid servicing a Lord; and, unto this milk aide servicing not unton the lords, but the Lord himself, a service so wonton as to seed unto its busom the woe, the untide, the severance offst thou whost dost disobey; aye. That is the fund upon which thous't brow the milk bid; un drank forthwith lay sodden. For Thou see, isn't its wastance, that which lay sodden before thy very eyes as peasnt-borne. But aye, bethwich thy lay, thy severance, thy birhtright, thy failing, thy actualite'.
ooooooooooooo~
The premise of any argument against tariffs is that they aren’t being paid by the foreign nation but by US businesses, who then push the burden of the tariff onto the final consumer. Therefore the tariffs is really a tax on product.
That being the premise, what would lead anyone to believe that increasing taxes on corporations and the rich individual owning those corporations wouldn’t just lead to them increasing the prices of the products they are selling, ultimately passing the burden of the tax onto the final consumer?
Let's just get this fib out of the way. Most countries do have tariffs to protect key domestic industries, and the US was no exception even before 2016. So no, other countries didn't enjoy free trade while the US was being screwed over. The American-backed world economic order was free trade across the board, with several asterisks.
Off the top of my head, I can provide two.
First, tariffs are in effect a regressive tax. Whereas you can control the distribution of an income tax, tariffs disproportionately affect poorer people. Whether you make 30k or 500k a year, the amount you pay on any product remain the same. This is also true of a sales tax, which would be a problem if you imposed a +25% sales tax on all products.
Second, tariffs cause tremendous disruption to the economy since they modify people's behavior more than other taxes. Supply chains collapse, businesses go bankrupt, people spend elsewhere or stop spending altogether...and since they harm both your country and those of your partners, you can expect retaliatory tariffs that will further disrupt your economy.
With few exceptions, sweeping tariffs are almost always a portent of economic disaster.
how do we avoid this part? taxing the rich their fair shares i think, is...fair. and i also think they do not pay nearly as much as they should. in every country across the planet.
the issue with tariffs...and most issues in our world, can be traced back to the mega wealthy. how can we be avoiding things like passing the burden to the consumers while also increasing taxation of the rich?
Say that to an American in their face. Record it too.
In UK the price is on the product and that includes the tax.
In USA the price is on the product and then the consumer has to pay the tax.
Put me off buying things it felt cheap shot.
Like the tip culture the owner is too stingy to pay the employees properly so the consumer has to compensate and increase the owners profit.
