Mark Levin Blasts Trump Taxation (Tariffs) of American Public

To be honest, as high as the stock market is, I am genuinely worried about just how bad it’s going to be when the bubble bursts.

As am I. And as someone else pointed out in another thread, when Baby Boomers start selling off their portfolios to fund their retirements, what impact will that have on the acceleration of the bubble bursting?

And less anyone mistakes this, I fully understand the market has zero to do with the President.

Levin has not in this regard. But yes, the Trump cult certainly has. And no way anyone could have predicted this one.

Anyone who actually listens to Levin would have predicted this since he has always been against tariffs & the possibility of a trade war, he has been talking about it for years so its no surprise to me at all that he disagrees with POTUS. And NEWS FLASH for all you lockstep liberals……. conservatives, constitutionals and many libertarians can disagree on subjects and issues without turning on each other like rabid dogs.

Levin and Hannity, along with Limbaugh will always be friends and in varying degrees all of them support President Trump because they all know he is and will be better then any liberal hairball Democrats cough up!

No, the way to go is through renegotiation of trade deals. Threatening tariffs is a good incentive for the parties to grab their seat at the table. The US, as the #1 consumer country in the world, has far less to lose in a trade war.

You act like we don’t export anything.

Of course. Because he is a fiscal conservative. Something that Trump is diametrically opposed to. Likewise with his supporters. They clearly believe that the government should tax American consumers and businesses more and more and more and more. Just like big government liberals. Birds of a feather.

If Obama was was doing the Tariffs, Levin would be against and all the Rs here would be roiling against Obama.

But since its trump and he’s MAGA, he gets support.

weird huh.

I generally disagree with Levin.

But he’s dead on here.

We import far more than we export.

Yea, you are right about us, thats why we got behind Trump in his tax increases… oh… wait…

I wonder which will be greater - the income tax savings, or the increased cost of goods due to taxation by tariffs? Time will tell. The net effect on disposable income will be the best measure of where people actually are in the long run.

Okay, then why did you get behind Trump and these tax increases on Americans and American businesses?

Seeing as how we have been down this road before, we already know it is the increased cost of goods. And more than that, it will be coupled with a substantial loss of jobs across a whole slew of industries.

■■■■■■■■, many Liberals here have disagreed just because who said it or where it is coming from. big example is Trump he has done things that Liberals should approve of but because it is Trump they don’t like it.
Both Sides do it.

Example(s)?

Yeah, that’s kind of what I was getting at.

Although, I guess - looking at it from a different perspective, you have to have income to have income tax due. So, I guess that presents another way to save on income tax. Though, quite honestly, I don’t find that a good alternative …

Perhaps that is what they are going with here?

We need a new trade deal. The current ones are not working for us and costing us far more in our manufacturing base than any increase in cost of imported goods. Manufacturing incomes are a lot better than the incomes of bugger flippers.

Okay. So a new trade deal would require negotiations to achieve said trade deal. How does supporting an increase in taxation on Americans and American businesses achieve a negotiated trade deal?

W
Leave it at " tariffs " and stop trying to push hype. Applying tariffs will work to force new trade deals with those countries that have been shafting us. Better than we currently have. Dwindling manufacturing, lower wages, higher cost of goods (due to THEIR tariffs and cost of goods caps they have our goods)

I’m thinking they should require at least one year of economics in order to receive a high school diploma.

Then again, at the high school level, you usually don’t have the mathematical skills to really appreciate the beauty of economics until your senior year when you get introduced to calculus.
