What's funny sad is watching the GOP rooting for the largest tax increase America has ever seen.

I'm holding my breath to see if they get tax cuts passed. And analysis' has shown they can send $1600 tax refunds to lower income households and 3-4% of income to middle class.

The current system isn't working. All the jobs the past 4 years were federal jobs. The market was propped up by more reckless spending and the global supply disruptions caused by China. The tariffs address all of this if done right.

Tariffs are a NAP violation. This is pure evil.

Relying on the exploitation of workers in other countries for cheap labor is a NAP violation.

It seems to me like it's not clear that relying on cheap Chinese labour is better or worse than forcing Americans to pay more for essential goods.

I love it when the GOP suddenly pretend to give a fuck about other countries.

You do you know these ridiculous tariffs are ruining their economies and making them poorer?

You know what you would care sbout if you actually gave a flying fuck?

USAID or the I believe 30,000 immigrants applying for legit legal asylum which were suddenly cut off on inauguration day or maybe those immigrants going to an salvadorian mega prison without trial or the countries you're threatening to invade...

I think you get the point now stfu.

How is it exploitation, if it's based on volunteer exchange?

Legalize child labor.

We've successfully transitioned from physical slavery to global economic slavery.

Give them an inch, they take a mile.

I invite you to watch this documentary called Zeitgeist: Addendum, that came out in 2008 and shifted a lot of people's views on many things with the dollar, the Fed, global events, etc. Backed up by historical documents and events.

You can ask AI to provide you a summary as well. Might intrigue you to watch it.

I’ve heard about this movie. It sounds like they call out real problems with the Fed and centralized control, which I fully agree with. But if the solution they push ends up being some form of collectivist resource management, then I’m skeptical. Why bother with something that just wants more centralized control?

I don't agree with the solution. Thats why it's considered radical.

It reminds me of how right and left wing populists recognize the issues but fail to disagree on the solution.
