Donald Trump has suggested eliminating U.S. income tax

a reply to: Astrocometus

Well if the Trumpster can't get anything done other than lowering taxes for the wealthy, what's the point in voting for him? Convenient that the dems are always available to blame when Trump can't get his policies through (excpet those ones that benefit the wealthy of course............. man of the people for sure!)

Here's a full list of Trumps BS that he promised you all and didn't deliver on:
Build a wall - fail
make Mexico pay for it - fail
Make America Great Again - fail
Drain the swamp - fail
clear national debt - fail
deport all illegals - fail
lock Hillary up - fail
increase torture for terrorist prisoners - fail
leave nato - fail

I could go on but my fingers are hurting from all the typing, but you get the gist.

An observation from across the pond.

And how do you thing the rest of the world would react to this?

A universal increase in tariffs on US goods.
A big reduction in US exports with an obvious impact on sales and jobs.

Corporation's move production to other countries. They still make their obscene profits so executives and shareholders are happy.....not so good for the people losing their jobs.

As pointed out, possible de-unionisation resulting in lower wages for many.

US isolationism at its very worst, but hey......entirely up to you guys, you do as you see fit.

The U.S. cannot pull it off they are too immersed in the global economy. Promising anything other than economic policies where the math works is a con job.

You are, as always, entirely wrong.

The math works simply because the American dollar is still the world's reserve currency.

We could pull it off simply by producing more oil.

You know... something the Democrats are against because they are trying to destroy America.

Up our production 20% and we will own the world economy again.

Something that Trump understands, among other people.

I have extended family that are Native Americans as I have said b4. Here in my world, they thought the land grab in Lakota lands for oil pipe line was too much. I was yes maam...."but, the oil is so important".... "yes ma'am, I can appreciate what you are saying". We just don't talk about that one now...

If I recall correctly, Trump has been dangling this bait now for quite a while. No income tax and make overseas producers pay tariffs on their goods. So silly me thinks, ah, wouldn't those over seas producers then just raise the prices to compensate for the loss of profit due to tariffs?

That would leave prices going up and inflation going up and consumers tightening their belts which would decrease demand for those foreign goods which would then lower the amount of goods coming in which would then lower the tariffs being paid and who is going to pay to fix the roads.......

And yet Progressives see no problem with forcing a wage increase, which every industry would pass the cost along to everyone…..
the inflation we are experiencing is about overspending by the government, became right now we are just servicing the debt. And who wins …. The bankers …. Oh thanks Occupy Wall Street for pretending to whine while being funded by Mr Wall Street himself and promoting socialism and anti capitalist policies and such things as direct democracy financial transaction fees which just hurt the individual investor and every 401k retirement fund for the little guy(including usw workers).
Progressives need to understand economics not torpedo them.

That person’s post was a foray into the media talking points led by various well-known commentators …

everyone of those things was blocked in some fashion by dem idiots and their rino counter parts. they had no intention of letting trump succeed. the only things they couldn't stop were EO that they had very little control over. even then they weaseled a way around some of them.

Yes correct. They even stopped him from confirming his own cabinet appointments.
