Can't even be honest about their tariff calculations.

[NCPitt]

The formula that you posted basically confirms exactly what I said, just in a way that looks technical to people that can't math. It specifally states that they are using the concept that any reason that a trade deficit exists must be because of unfair trade practices, which is what their fine print states as part of "manipulation and trade barriers".

Country	Exports $M	Imports $M	Defecit $M	Deficit%	"Tariff Charged to US"
Namibia	160.5	275.2	114.7	42%	42%
Senegal	350.9	235.1	-115.7	-49%	10%
Iraq	1,700	7,400	5,700	77%	78%
Mauritius	48	234.5	186.5	80%	80%
Venezuela	4,200	6,000	1,800	30%	29%
Haiti	1,200	616.8	-583.2	-95%	10%
Algeria	1,000	2,500	1,500	60%	59%
Mozambique	149.7	216.1	66.4	31%	31%

"Reciprocal tariffs are calculated as the tariff rate necessary to balance bilateral trade deficits between the U.S. and each of our trading partners. This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due to a combination of tariff and non-tariff factors that prevent trade from balancing. Tariffs work through direct reductions of imports."

Do you disagree with the concept of better balancing trade by reducing imports through tariffs?

 

[NCPitt]

There is no rule saying that you need tariffs to lower the income taxes for the middle class or in your case, a retiree (assuming) who is already in a crazy low tax bracket. Tax the ultra-rich. Cut taxes for the middle class. It's pretty easy.

Tariffs are not paying for tax cuts.

Hey all maga morons, can you help us normies out with a list of everyone who has been arrested and charged with fraud from all of this widespread fraud Leon keeps talking about?

What am I supposed to do with those 5? Am I supposed to make vacation plans?

Since you obviously had no idea what the formula meant on the link you posted trying to refute my claims, I figured I'd let you choose 5 countries so I could hold your hand through the math. I figured that since I've already given you a 19th century American History lesson that you clearly needed, that I might as well cover some math as well.

I need you to really focus now so this can sink in to your brain.

As usual, you make no sense. My post addressed the lie that was thread title. They were clear what they were doing.

Have they referred anyone to the DOJ?

Six months ago the right was screaming about how true American patriots were suffering because eggs cost $2 more, and how the Big Guy will be laser focused on rescuing Americans from the tyranny of Biden’s egg prices.

Now? “If you can’t eat higher prices because of the tariffs, then that’s on you.”

Who knew we import eggs? 🤦

Joseph Hackett
Stuart Rhodes
Enrique Tarrio

It's the same thing as the Elon Social Security Number thing the other day. Go up on stage, say a bunch of scary things to mislead the audience, show a graph with big numbers with fine print that doesn't match the words coming out of their mouth, then maybe post the reality somewhere that 99% of voters will never see (And even those that do see it, 90% of them won't have any clue what it means).

And it works! You have people here running with Trump made up charts as facts, people eat it up because they are inherently dumb.

If only it were this easy. Take all the tax revenues paid by the lower and middle classes and have the ultra-rich pay it.

The debt keeps expanding. Inflation keeps growing. Tax policy is a small piece of the puzzle.

The working class is tired of subsidizing the parasitic American bureaucrats (welfare workers) and the living standard for the rest of the world. The new Dems and GOP cucks have done nothing to stop it. No American customer service rep ever got a raise by their employer outsourcing their job to India. No American widget welder every got a raise by having the welding done in Singapore.

So no insurrection.

Fair enough. Ten proud boys or oath keepers actually resisted cops violently enough to get a DC jury to convict them of conspiracy. It's more than I expected. But still, 10 rioters hardly constitute an insurrection.

We'll see what charges DOGE will cause to be brought and how much they can sound like fraud.

It's all theater. On both sides.

Winner winner chicken dinner. The Uniparty loved the blue team and red team fan boys going at eachother while they continue to sell out American citizens. When people wake up and realize that the main difference between the two parties is the color of the signs and the logos then we will truly Make America Great Well that and recognize that Christ is King

The January 6th attack on our own Capitol was absolutely insurrection by it's very definition.

Well, you have never been one of the ignorant and I wish Trump never broke you; but, to be a tad more specific, we were considered a Christian nation but not a Christian country.

Madison got deep into this distinction and you can see this also reflected in article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli

*****
AI: While it's often said that the U.S. government, through the Treaty of Tripoli, stated it wasn't founded on the Christian religion, the phrase is actually a translation of Article 11 of the treaty, not a direct statement by President Madison.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
The Treaty of Tripoli and Article 11:
The Treaty of Tripoli, negotiated by Joel Barlow during the presidency of George Washington and signed into law during John Adams's administration, aimed to establish peace and trade relations between the United States and the Barbary States (Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis, and Morocco).

The Controversial Clause:
Article 11, in its English translation, states, "As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion".

Context and Interpretation:
This statement was included to reassure the Barbary States that the U.S. government wouldn't be motivated by religious animosity towards Muslims, and that the U.S. would not engage in religious wars. "
*********

So, when I use the term Christian Nationalist, I don't intend a theocracy, i.e. no Church theology or any religious dogma or liturgy should be enforced. What I mean is that Christians should create laws that reflect Christian morality, ethics, etc.

And, although the first Amendment proscribes Congress from establishing a religion, the states were never subject this same restriction.

****
AI: "While "country" and "state" can be used interchangeably, a nation refers to a group of people sharing a common culture, history, or identity, while a state is a political entity with defined borders and sovereignty, and a country is often used as a synonym for a state."

“The United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion.”

Correct. It was a secular national government created by Christian States which were comprised of 98% Christians.

The United States of America is the name of the corporate entity created by the 13 States to address the collective interests of the States. The internal issues were left to the State government. The national government was given limited specific powers related to foreign policy, waging war, tariffs, treaties, etc

One reason it was secular was because there several sects of Christianity - Anglican, Quaker, Presbyterian, Baptist, Pilgrims, Puritans, etc. None of these wanted to be the one not chosen.
