Tommy Callahan Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Inflation is a tax we all pay and the Dems seem to have raised that and taxes. And we still have a debt to gdp ratio over 130 1
daz28 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 The Trump bribe to oil companies today has led me to do some research, because when they get tax breaks, it will eventually come out of ALL of our pockets, and into theirs. Also to note, they are paying our government to keep prices high, which also comes out of our pockets. During Bush, Exxon made $234 billion. During Obama they made $225 billion. Under Biden in 3 years they made $115 billion. Under trump they made only $32.5 billion(on top of $25b in tax cuts), so maybe that's why trump told them that the $1 billion he wants from them for re-election is "a deal". I'm sure Covid skewed their numbers a lot under trump, but basically they are extorting the people, through our government, for trillions of dollars. Go ahead and vote red or blue, because it won't matter. Gas prices are going to remain high, because that's where they want them to be, and blame it all on drilling rights, which is complete and utter BS. They have TONS of open permits already.

But what bothers me is that a lot of uninformed people believe this, that tariffs are a no-cost way of raising federal revenues.
B-Man Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Hey anybody remember the original title of @BillStime's thread ? On 5/12/2022 at 1:09 PM, B-Man said: How will the new GQP tax INCREASE affect you? It won't. There isn't any. It was a proposal by one senator, in a senate with a Democrat majority. The thread is a "squirrel" posted by our resident nut. 1

To protect domestic industries, to counter foreign government subsidies, to counter "dumping" activity, to raise revenue. Wikipedia lists 197 countries here.

I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tariff_rate So? Why does Trump need to raise taxes on the American people? Why does Trump need to lie about who will pay for the tariffs? The American people pay the tax, Trump lies about that

The higher tier tariff countries are not exactly something to emulate.
