You are wrong. Tarriffs are paid by the importers in the US. Every cent going into the government treasury came out of the pocket of an American importer.I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure tariffs are paid by countries exporting goods to the US.

Oh, so we're only "partially" communist, then. That's better.I’m also pretty sure in communism, the State takes over complete control of production, not a small share of it
Me either. I go by definitions. When the state is taking ownership of the means of production, that's communist.Trump is the quintessential capitalist. I do not need convoluted logic based upon socialist, anti Trump talking points attempting to paint him as a communist. That is just ludicrous.
I stand corrected. Then again, no one forces those importers to buy anything…You are wrong. Tarriffs are paid by the importers in the US. Every cent going into the government treasury came out of the pocket of an American importer.
And, while Trump has been in office (either time), please list any means of production of any US company seized by either of his administrations.When the state is taking ownership of the means of production, that's communist.
You’ll have to explain in more detail how investing in a company and receiving minimal returns on those investments is any part communism. I believe that is the epitome of Capitalism. Then again, don’t bother as I don’t have the energy to continue debating against the Trump Derangement Syndrome talking points. I should have known better than to even start.Oh, so we're only "partially" communist, then. That's better.
The end result is the same. They are in charge and you do what they say to do. Never worked. Ends up a dictatorship with a different name.I read someplace recently that socialism and communism are very close to exact same thing. The difference is that communism is forced upon you, socialism you vote for.
And in worst case scenarios, millions of deaths…The end result is the same. They are in charge and you do what they say to do. Never worked. Ends up a dictatorship with a different name.
Putting food on the table does. It's part of capitalism. Filling a market need at a desired price point, and it's a trade off between consumption and production, all the constraints, etc.I stand corrected. Then again, no one forces those importers to buy anything…
So no more fire departments, police departments or public roads? Back to fire departments provided by insurance companies... if you're their policy holder?The end result is the same. They are in charge and you do what they say to do. Never worked. Ends up a dictatorship with a different name.
