@sonhouse saidOnce again, the only reason we need income taxes is to pay the interest on our massive debt. That insures continual taxation so it was probably by design.
@Metal-Brain
You really are as stupid as the adults here say you are.
Did you see ANYTHING in the Canadian system saying they would totally replace the tax system with massive tariffs to replace all that tax money?
Did you miss the part where the experts said the tariff would have to be some 140% to replace the lost tax money and that would be a total disaster for the c ...[text shortened]... h that since you would tell people to just make a communist government and everything will be great.
Before 1913 there was no income tax. Now that we are off of the gold standard the FRS can create as much currency as it wants and tax us with inflation. How do you think the weapons sent to Ukraine is paid for? It is not from the income tax. The FRS system creates the money like a counterfeiter would so government can pay the military industrial complex money to buy weapons to send to Ukraine for free. Well, recently they started converting it into loans instead.
Weapons sent to Ukraine raised your prices. Government taxed you with inflation to fight the proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. Now they want to tax you with tariffs as well. Are you surprised? Trump is an establishment creep. He works for the Rockefellers just like Biden does. They are both on team Rockefeller.
The Rockefellers want to rape you more. They are only doing it because you are not complaining enough so they know they can keep raping you. It is mostly military spending. Guns, not butter. Israel has universal healthcare and we don't. Why are we giving Israel weapons? Are we subsidizing their universal healthcare?
Why are we giving weapons to people with universal healthcare when we don't have universal healthcare? Shouldn't Israel be giving us money so we can have good healthcare too? It doesn't take a genius to see that is insulting to our intelligence. Right?

@wildgrass
I'm not a fan but this could work *if* the gov adds to the cost of equivalent domestic products the same amount
so that foreign competitors will get an even shake and not retaliate with tariffs on US products imported
Remember this?

It really was not completely horrible idea. The only reason it would not work is because the debt is so high it would cause hyperinflation. If the debt was not so massive Trump's suggestion would work.
@Metal-Brain
Once again you are a POS COMMIE AHOLE.
140% tariff would destroy our economy and NOBODY on the planet is doing that.
@Wajoma
Kiss my ass you POS. I worked on Apollo at Goddard Space Flight Center and I also worked on AUTEC on Andros Island in the Bahamas and when I was with Varian I was in nearly every cleanroom in the states and 3 years in Jerusalem at Intel as a contractor on high current ion implanters so stick you POS comments up your ass.
@sonhouse saidAll those places had exit lights,

coincidence?
I think not.
@Wajoma
Right. Yep, two years of electronic training at Palomar College in San Marcos California and a full year of electronics training in the air force 6 hours a day for a full year and at Varian so many training courses in Gloucester Mass at Extrion I can't even recall how many of those I attended and about 400 hours of digital electronics training at RCA. I think it is unlikely you ever heard of Varian OR Palomar college OR Extrion but I did not have to pull that information from the net because I was THERE.
@Earl-of-Trumps
NOT retaliate. Right. Like a foreign company would just sit back and accept a 140% tariff, knowing full well the American economy would TANK and there would BE no sales amounting to much if that POS idea actually were to be put through.
Did you get the fact it is the American citizen who would pay that tariff?
Or are you falling over and playing dead believing only those companies would pay the tariff?
Do you seriously think folks could afford a car that would cost 70 thousand when it originally was 30 thousand, what planet would that ever work for ANY country on Earth? Or a 300 dollar TV now costing 700 dollars? Nothing wrong with that?
@sonhouse saidSo you worked for a state controlled space program no different than the Russian's. Should I call you comrade?

Our internet was not created by the private sector. DARPA came up with the internet. That is how the commies do it comrade! You would not be on the internet without state control outside of the private sector. Nothing is black and white in government. Our military is a commune, isn't it?
@Metal-Brain
I was not talking to you, I was talking to Wajoma who thinks I never worked there or did anything technical when that is ALL I have done my entire career, working in clean rooms in such places as the now defunct Bell Labs in New Jersey and David Sarnoff research center in Princeton and the physics lab at Lehigh University in Bethlehem Pa to name just a few.
Funny how OUR space program actually got people to the moon while the stupid idea the Soviets tried for rocket motors, a BUNCH of small rockets trying to run together and all they got out of that was a bunch of explosions because they did not have the engineering licks to make a rocket motor large enough so you didn't have to have 40 of them to try to run together which they didn't.
At NASA we were free to come and go as we pleased and the dude next door when I moved to Alexandria Virginia who happened to also be working at Goddard invited me in to the lab storing the moon rocks. You really think I could have seen those moon rocks if I had been working for the Soviets?
@sonhouse saidSo you were a janitor at NASA?

@wildgrass saidHow much? Compare that with Biden since that is what you like to do.
