President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

How does that disproportionately affect anyone?

Simple math. Someone making $25,000/yr is putting 100% of their income toward basic needs. Some making $125,000/years has plenty of play money left over.
So increasing taxes/tariffs on the poor makes a difficult situation worse.

That's not how it works. In some cases their is no alternative, how many American made shoes or socks can you find?
If chinese widgets sell for $ 10.00 each do you think American made widgets will sell for $6.00 ?Nope maybe $9.50

Do you think either

A) everyone is going to stop drinking if they have to pay more for European wine and beer (which, BTW, has a relatively small market share in the US), or

B) people will drink the same amount, and those who care how much French wine costs (very few, or they wouldn't be drinking it already) will just switch to Cali/Oregon/ Washington/Argentina/Australia options?

If B, how exactly does that negatively affect you or other US consumers or producers?

So you’re ok with slave labor produced cheap crap to help poor people?

Sounds like they better get a better job and your disingenuous wording makes people care even less.

What year do you live in?

Yes, that's the humanitarian way. As long as they aren't terrorists. God forbid anyone shoots missiles at people who murder Jews.

What year did you live in that took $125,000 to put beans on the table?

 

[Orangeslice13]

I always laugh at the "free market" goobs who refuse to realize we aren't in a free market at all. When another country is subsidizing their products through slavery and abuse, are we going to go to that level to even the field?

I’d go a step further.
In my mind if you don’t manufacture by the rules of the United States….(labor and OSHA) then you can’t sell your crap here.

Liberal logic…it’s not their slave labor.

You make up lies, so there's that.

What kind of beans we talking?

My thoughts exactly.

Very blessed to make well over 125k as a household. “Plenty of play money”?? Nah bro! I’m searching GolfNow for Hot Deals, sitting in the nosebleeds when I visit Knoxville, and drinking George Dickel White Label by the Jug. I got kids!

So many people don't drink wine, you live in a elitist world.

You don't get it do you?
Golfing on weekends, Drinking jugs of Dickel or going to football games on Saturdays are mot basics of life. Those are play things

I do get it. I grew up broke homey. Hot dogs and cheap cereal. Crackers and Kool-Aid.

You said “plenty of play money” for 125k earners. That’s not true. Not at all. I’m well well above that. We still gotta watch what we spend.

Why are they only making $25,000/yr? Would they make more $$$ if there were more jobs? Would there be more jobs if we weren't off-shoring production of everything?

It seems to me the poorer among us may benefit from tariffs more than others.

The liquor store during early Covid was a really fun place to visit. I saw a yelling match, someone get thrown out, and more people without masks than anywhere other than my office.

You'd think there'd be masks in your office, but I suppose it'd make it difficult to pull a Lego out of a kid's nose.

I'm definitely not speaking from experience. Definitely.

Now accepting enrollment for the Dink School of balling out on a budget. You can absolutely have tons of fun in that income bracket so long as you don't **** up and make crotch goblins with someone.

Kids are expensive.

They really are!

No regrets. I love my kids. But my oldest eats nonstop. Dudes got a tapeworm or something. He weighs nothing while eating all day. He puts away a dozen apples a weekend without trying. My youngest is still in daycare. Which is essentially ran by the mafia or something. We pay $300 a week for “protection”.

My mom said the same thing about me as I grew up. I still house about 4 or 5 meals a day. Can't put on any more weight.

America is made great when we lose billions of dollars in defense contracts. Just another 3-D chess move from dear leader. MAGA!

You voted for Kamala who wasn’t the elected nominee. Not sure you need to use the term pathetic at this point.

That’s right brother!
