An articulate pro-MAGA argument for a tariff reset

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

I pay more taxes than most make. That is a fair share.

As do I. And we can pay more and not miss it at all.

I didn't say I didn't miss it. I have a lot of expenses, in large part due to high property taxes on non-primary residences.

Then you, unlike me, are not managing your residences properly.

Do tell. Other than renting them out to offset taxes, what can be done to avoid higher property taxes on non-primary residences? Why would you suggest skirting taxes? I thought you were a big fan.

Only a fool would imply that? And you don't understand how to make your residences a good investment, apparently. Get out of property management.

I have rental properties, but that is quite different than residences. How can I make a secondary residence a good investment without renting it out or obviously purchasing a property that appreciates? The discussion is about taxes. How can I offset or avoid high property taxes on private secondary residences?

Rethinking Trade Tariffs: Why a Global Trade Reset is Good for Growth

For those of us who are pro-tariff but very much against the way this whole thing has been handled, that's a link to an articulate, intelligent argument for what Trump is doing. Obviously it's one-sided, but it is thoughtful and reasonable.

This is precisely the kind of argument that could have been made to our trading parters and (former) friends behind closed doors from the beginning. We could even have put the hammer down and said something like "America is going to see to it that this reset happens. We very much want to work closely with you on it, but please understand it's time for a reset". But this insane clown show was not required.

That's how it's done in a respectful, intelligent, professional way, instead of resorting to insults, accusations, mockery, anger, intimidation and punishment. We've now seriously damaged our relationships with our (former) friends, they're creating new trade relationships that don't include us, and it never had to happen.

Hey feel free to run for president and implement your version of tariffs. Otherwise sit in the back and don't do a lot of talking while OUR president ***** slaps these rip-off countries.

It's a little late for that, bub.

What is your annual income and tax rate ?

What do you think your tax rate should be raised to ?

Not your business. I think the wealthy and corporations should have a max rate of 45% and reduced exemptions.

You proclaimed your wealth and willingness to pay more taxes as justification for others to pay more taxes.

How much you earn and pay in taxes - and how much more are you willing to pay is an appropriate follow-up question.

So what? Much more in wealth and taxes then you, Pedro.

Already answered.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

What is "wealthy"? The problem is, it varies greatly depending on where someone lives.

Higher prices and probably recession will be the effects, and they will affect all of us.

What happened to the higher prices and recession you predicted on May 8th?

It didnt happen

The anti Trump wizards of smart in the news media lied to you

That they were coming, and they are. Don't deny it. And act like an adult. I did not say that prices would higher on that date.

We are past 1 August. If we have an honest job report on 1 September, you will see the change.

I guess you just have more patience waiting for your doomsday prediction than I do

I understand time, economics, and man's nature.

Sitting in a foxhole scared to death taught me patience and stillness.

I can wait for 1 September standing on my head.

Remember when Kimmy Schimdt said she could for her boy friend standing on her head for two years.

Why is 1 sept so important?

Did your lib crystal ball tell you something is going to happen on that day?
