A confirmation biased cherry picking of anecdotes from the internet to fit your preconceived notions? Why bother? America is post fact now, you should just go with your gut, and take the inherent wealth transfer of foreign subsidized steel away from the American consumer, to funnel it via countervailing tariffs to Wall Street investors instead; doesn't bother me, fill your boots.

You don't want free money from the Chinese taxpayer? Hey, no problem, Wall Street is happy to take it.

1. Execute the banksters. Every last one, along with all their heirs. Got to end the plutocracy, full stop.

2. Close the borders. No more Mexican gangbangers or Canadian pop singers or store-brand jihadiis shooting up gay bars.

3. NATO can defend itself.
3.a. Same with Japan and Korea.
3.b. And Israel too (you have nukes, stop being pussies).

4. 100% tariffs on imports. You want to sell here, make here or go fuck yourself.

5. Shut down every federal agency that didn't exist in 1900. Including the the federal reserve. I'm flexible on whether we execute the former heads of those agencies and all their relatives to 3 degrees of consanguinuity or just execute the former heads and leave their families alone.

The MIC would fight you tooth and nail.....and probably snuff any POTUS who tried to execute #3. Trump better have eyes in the back of his head.....He's fucking with the MIC's buddaaarrr.

Agreed - the WOT and WOD are pet projects for special interests....I believe there evidence that the Cartels actually funnel money to pro WOD US politicians (I'm too lazy to google it at the moment).

The cartels make money in other ways, e.g., human trafficking, extortion....end the WOD to kill their main cash cow, then finish them off with drones....

God these CNN free-traders are hilarious!

Uh, like raising t-taxes uh, I mean tariffs, raises the prices on consumers. Just imagine if we raise these t-taxes, uh I mean tariffs how bad it would be for poor people even??

This bad...

7. Americans aged 50 to 65 spend 74 percent more money per year than Americans aged 18 to 25.

Like a flat tax those that spend the most will be taxed the most by any price increases and surprise!! People with more money spend way more than those who don't.

(trying to find annual expenditure by income class study but struggling.)

Why you guys so shocked? Isn't it obvious that genX and mils have no monies?

Those that have service jobs are now competing with Indian indentured servants, e.g. H1Bs. I love it, the Boomers collectively fuck up the economy then laugh at those struggling under the effects of their policies..... :evil:
