Tariff Checks

Interesting that you didn't answer the question.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm constantly talking about how capitalism makes things cost more

 

Would love it, but unfortunately everyone has to practice it and there aren’t many/any that do.

We can only hope for the day.

 

Europe and Canada were practicing it and Trump came along and hit them with high tariffs.

 

Canada had an average effective tariff rate of 1.37% in 2022. The US had an average rate of 1.49%. The EU had an average tariff rate of 1.33%. So obviously we needed to slap them all with 15% tariffs because they were taking huge advantage of us.

 

And what are the chances of hitting said limit on any dairy product? Practically zero. Most products aren't even hitting half of the allowed limit.

 

i actually applaud your openness about it. Very Berniesque. I thoroughly enjoy him lauding socialism until it’s time for him to write and sell a book. Then all sudden shifts and embraces capitalism so he can get competing publishers to bid down the costs and of course he wants to set the price to maximize his profits. Seemingly forgetting his ‘everything should be free’ speech from the night before. So yes. Bernie agrees that if he gave away his book it would ‘cost less’.

 

I got a free copy of two of his books, I guess you werent cool enough to get one

 

good try. Always interesting how the socialist never appear to have their own rules apply to them. Just for the dumb masses.

Bernie Sanders Has Hauled In $2.5 Million In Book Payments Since 2011

let me know when Bernie donates the 2.5m to Gaza

 

OMG, and I cash my paycheck but I oppose capitalism, I'm such a hypocrite! You always bring the child logic to an adult conversation.

 

I’ll take conflation and ad hominem for $500 alex

 

Canada had protectionist tariffs on many/most things that they wanted to protect and zero tariffs on what they needed/wanted. To compare aggregate tariff percentages between the two countries is somewhere between inadequate, disingenuous, and downright foolish.

 

I even used the money to buy stuff that likely led to a profit for a capitalist, Karl Marx is gonna be so pissed at me

 

A limit that was never even approached...

Trump's Misleading Claim on Canadian Dairy Tariffs - FactCheck.org

Basically, it is an anti-dumping law, not a tariff on normal trade.

 

As did we. The overall effective tariff rates were still very low. Now it's gonna be 15% or whatever it ends up at.

 

who pays $500 for a smartphone. I just got a free smartphone trade in with verizon.

 

You’ve hit just about every tired (and dumb) stereotype here, at the same time failing to pay attention to who is voting for what and calling for what. You sound like a Mitt Romney voter. You haven’t figured out that MAGA actually hates you.

 

did anyone on the left turn down Biden’s money drop

If the tariff’s continue to bring in cash I would rather 1 we pay down our debt and 2 we cut income taxes
