Trump hits us again with more taxes!

[ReinyDays]

What America really needs is a billion dollar ball room for the elites.

Like the Crystal Place

That's certainly worth raising Middle Class taxes for ... just slip the new tax in on the Schedule C and no one will notice ...

Its hard to be wrong on every point but you did it. This is an example of the progressive mind. They value feelings over facts and will invent "facts" to support their feelings. They say what they want to be true as if it was true. As a therapist with 30 years experience this kind of thinking indicates lack of maturity, its childlike and it also indicates anxiety.
Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to use you as an example.

Facts
Inflation is slowing therefore tariffs are not having much effect
Tax cuts targeted the middle class and seniors with higher standard deduction child credit tax free tips and overtime
We are all better off after Biden crushed the middle class and the poor with 9% inflation.

Under Trump wages are greater than inflation spending power is up. Gas is way down.

In my youth I had a friend whose little sister used to cover her eyes and say "No one can see me!" She must have influenced 40 years of Democrat voters!

Just remember that the “anew revenue” is cost added to the price of imported goods you buy.

The end user always pays. The idea that the producer pays the tariff without passing on the cost is infantile. Plainly ridiculous.

it’s a larger tax then that, too. Since tariffs are usually used to make imports less competitive, they are, in effect, subsidies to domestic manufacturers who raise prices to the higher import price.

We tell Democrats over and over that when they jack up taxes to the rich, they get to pay the taxes for the rich.

Who paid for the ballroom?

Most of the money came from defense contractors, big oil and bankers.

 

[Dagoth-Ur]

What taxes did Biden raise?

And how is Biden responsible for global inflation?

Google it, I’m not your secretary. Ah he is to blame because he ran the damn money printer night and day triggering it.

Yeah focus on a non issue dude.

That's exactly right...IF the rich are producing goods and services for the common people they simply raise prices on those things to pay those taxes. Imbecile Dem.voters just don't get that. They'll actually label it "fake news". Truly astounding.

You could address the points I made, instead of trying to derail the thread.

Asking questions about information in your post is derailing the thread?

Starting October 1, he hits us with 100% tax on imported pharmaceuticals (medicines for you magas), 50% on kitchen cabinets, 30% on some furniture, and 25% on heavy trucks.

He just can't get it through his small, uneducated brain that he creates real hardships for most Americans with his ongoing tax increases. He is like an out of control heavy truck, running amuck on the highway! Hopefully we can slow him down some after he gets slaughtered in the mid-terms!

Bigly!!!

PS - 14 days until he isn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!

Wait, so taxes create hardships for people??

Just imagine what big pharma will do with this tarriff. They'll ride it right to the bank. Your $600 pill will go up to $780!

But you don't pay tarriffs (or so the Trumpsters say).

We already see what big pharmaceutical is doing

Investing in America, increasing US production, and hiring Americans at new jobs With their billion dollar investment

Merck opens $1B vaccine plant in North Carolina

Unveiling of the new factory comes as Merck and other pharma companies face pressure to reshore manufacturing back to the U.S.

But Biden and his tax increases and inflation didn’t harm us?

In fact they did bigly, xiden, harris and their demafasict policies made a majority of American i

Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago

The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

K. I am well aware..hence why i avoid paying it. Thankfully its not an increase on the amount of money i earn…I agree businesses often pass on taxes to consumers, so glad its not a increase in corp taxes across the board, I can simply avoid imports

Ironically dems want to raise income taxes and corp taxes…so you really have no point

Dumbass. If the ******* price is the same before and after tariffs the importer (or non-consumers) pay the tariff.

It's a tax on big corporations, isn't that what you guys want, to tax the rich?

Is it only under Trump where taxing the rich is bad, because only then, they might pass on those taxes by raising prices on the customers?

Trump repudiated NAFTA. Then spent four years negotiating its replacement.

Then he repudiated his own deal.

in the age of Trump trade wars, GATT has been shoved aside.

All well after textiles and furniture manufacturing had fled the US thanks to Slick Willy.

He did not create the global inflation that occurred during the period in which the global supply chain Re established itself.

But he did curb inflation faster than any other major nation.

Does he care? He'll be fine. That's all that matters.

He doesn't understand what it's like to be "normal", he's never been "normal", he was born with a silver spoon up his ass.

Tariffs are taxes that you pay.
Inflation is not slowing.
Trump cut taxes for billionares and handed the middle class crumbs.
No one is better off. Indeed, the list of people negatively affected by Trump's chaotic ever changing policies is already long and growing.

Right out of Democrat-Marxist talking points.^^^ Tariffs are not taxes.
