Why do you say I hate China and, as well, what do you know of my spending habits?
Biden has a plan apart from open borders? I'd sure like to see that!

The 2017 Tax Cuts Didn't Work, The Data Prove It

A new report confirms what the data already showed: The 2017 tax cuts for the richest Americans and corporations did not work as promised. Workers did not see higher wages, but instead the federal government incurred massive deficits while wealth inequality increased.

These 7 charts show Trump's tax cuts still haven't been the economic 'rocket fuel' he promised, 2 years after the fact

We can reshore manufacturing jobs, but Trump hasn’t done it: Trade rebalancing, infrastructure, and climate investments could create 17 million good jobs and rebuild the American economy

Trump’s trade policies have failed to curb offshoring—and they have not addressed the root causes of America’s growing trade deficits and the decline of American manufacturing. On top of that, COVID-19—and the administration’s mismanagement of the crisis—has wiped out much of the last decade’s...

I said it because you alluded to hating China and yet most of the clothes, electronics and appliances Americans buy are made in China....including your knockoff MAGA hat and merchandise.

Yes, Biden has a plan to mitigate the causes of migration to help keep people from migrating in the first place. You can look it up and see it anytime you want...or you can wallow in ignorance...the choice is yours.

I agree with that premise, they are free to choose personally but I am against a concerted group effort to publicly attack a business with the intent to do them harm. Do you also agree that a baker or florist should then be able to refuse to do business with people they disagree with? Or, do you actually think that only the consumer has rights but not the entrepreneur?

I do indeed think the baker or florist should then be able to refuse to do business with people they disagree with. Nobody should be forced to business anymore than someone should be forced to use a business.

I believe that anti-discrimination laws applied to anyone but the government are actually against the Constitution.

My eye. We have a capitalist society in which businesses make their own decisions based upon how a personality affects their business, sales and reputation. If you want socialism, where the govt dictates what products stores must carry, you're in the wrong country.

So Dixie Chicks or The Chicks and Jane Fonda should not be badmouthed or boycotted on a national stage? No more Hanoi Jane?
 
This bozo tries to participate in a coup to override the will of the people - he gets what he deserves.
 
It’s amazing how the left goes insane over a guy who makes pillows. Lol.......

I never even 'alluded' to hating China. This is why I ask all leftists to quote me directly when responding. They tend to make up crap in their heads and reinterpret posts from their own level of understanding.

Can we look at the bottom line. Were unemployment rates the best in a long while and were more Blacks, Hispanics and women doing better than before, did household incomes rise and was the business community happy? The answers are all yes.

Biden has $4 billion aid plan that will be swallowed up by the corrupt bureaucrats immedialy. I;ve been involved in Central America for 27 years so know something of the area, certainly more than
Joe Biden.

The private sector has to get involved in the form of education and jobs. This can be assisted tax and import incentives with companies being encouraged to move away from an aggressive China and closer to home. Only through private investment and education, not the publicly acknowledged and accepted corrupt governments, will any progress be made.

Not buying a specific brand of pillow makes a person insane. The bar has been lowered. Do you remember to buy at least one of every brand of pillow or are you insane as well?

That makes the huge and unproven presumption that Trump cared about solving anyone's problems but his own

He isn't "cancelled" because he is a conservative, or a Christian, or a Trump supporter. This isn't an example of someone using the wrong pronoun and the woke crowd going ape shit over it. He wanted the president to engage in a coup and companies don't want to be associated with a traitor.

Trump WAS (damn that feels good to say) neither a conservative president nor a populist president. He WAS an opportunist president -- taking whatever position he needed to personally benefit.
Conservatives believe in free trade and free markets. Trump believes in tariffs and subsidizing coal, as an example. Both distort free markets.
Populists believe in taxing the rich more so as to be able to help the working class. Populists also believe in providing programs that help the ordinary citizen. Yet, Trump lowered taxes on the rich and tried whenever possible to slash the social safety net and dismantle Obamacare, while replacing it with nothing.
Trump was a fascist, who dismissed protesters who oppose him as “paid professionals,” polls that reflect poorly on him as “fake news,” and attempted a coup to hold onto power when he lost the election.

Well, you seem to hate the left, so it's not too much of a stretch to see that you hate China, too....

Did businesses not return to the US when the tax laws changed? Are you a Biden/ China/WEF supporter who prefers open borders, fewer jobs and lower wages in order to support the rich getting richer?

BTW...what is WEF...and why do you hate them?

The economy was trending up before Trump took office....and then he artificially expanded the economy when he forced the feds to lower interest rates. Yes, businesses were producing more and employment rates were up....but workers wages were still stagnated and people were still working two or three minimum wage jobs and living paycheck to paycheck.

When the economy does good, minorities are the last to reap it's benefits....and when the economy goes bad, minorities are the first to reap the pain. That's what needs to change.
