Or just tariff.

2018-08-05 18:46:53 UTC

Thats a tarriff. Sales tax is on goods sold in the country and is usually universal regardless on product origin. Tariffs are taxes only on countries of origin to ship into the nation based on product. Regardless if it sells or not.

2018-08-05 18:48:42 UTC

The issue with tariffs is it is a tax that has no benifit to the ones taxed. Income, Sales, Property taxes go towards things that benifit the payer. But hell many states dont have income or sales, and fed doesnt have sales.

2018-08-05 18:51:04 UTC

benefit being relative in nature depending on the political ideology.

2018-08-05 18:53:00 UTC

I don't understand why everyone wants to criticize Trump for using tariffs but then don't ever seem to care about all the other countries using tariffs against the US.

2018-08-05 19:19:06 UTC

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] noteworthy that the german automakers sperged out when trump said he was introducing a new car tariff.

2018-08-05 19:19:26 UTC

Despite europe charging a 25% import tariff on american cars.

2018-08-05 19:19:39 UTC

And our tariff on them is gonna be 10% lower

2018-08-05 19:20:34 UTC

TOO DAMN WOKE

2018-08-06 02:53:36 UTC

The thing about tariffs is most people have the concept backward. It isn't a tax on foreign companies. It is a tax on products consumed by the people in a country. The people who pay for it is the consumer.

2018-08-06 02:56:15 UTC

Yes, which means purchasing these items outside of the country increases in cost.

2018-08-06 02:57:01 UTC

Because it in turn affects the product's sale value.

2018-08-06 02:58:33 UTC

The companies themselves will not take the hit on profit because they simply won't let it affect their profit margins.

2018-08-06 02:59:10 UTC

Companies compensate, which means the cost of buying goods in a country is higher.

2018-08-06 02:59:21 UTC

People really need to grasp that part of economy.

2018-08-06 04:10:04 UTC

Holy shit, the guardian AU just got woke

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs_Vs1jtYSE Scott Adams makes some good points on Q

2018-08-06 05:56:30 UTC

Basically the same point I was making the other day. The only purpose Q will serve is to make Trump supporters look like idiots.

2018-08-06 06:08:36 UTC

Even if Q were real, what would be the purpose of leaking things right before everyone else is going to find out anyway? What is the purpose of maintaining an air of mysticism and being so cryptic? There is no purpose, other than to create the false appearance of possessing special knowledge.

2018-08-06 08:30:07 UTC

information and misinformation

2018-08-06 08:31:05 UTC

he's said a few times that there's been misinformation deliberately given out for deep state to pick up

2018-08-06 10:36:14 UTC

wtf is Q?

2018-08-06 10:54:37 UTC

Q the ordinary

2018-08-06 11:21:11 UTC

Q the space troll

2018-08-06 12:57:02 UTC

is that the "i'm a communist" chick?

a Literal Communist

2018-08-06 15:32:01 UTC

How do you folk see the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism?

2018-08-06 15:38:47 UTC

@Omsomething social democracy wants a social market economy with privately run businesses and core state enterprises and social programs to redistribute wealth and power
Democratic socialism wants a state economy/market with state run business and a forced redistribution of wealth

2018-08-06 15:40:52 UTC

Hmm hmm good that seems more or less how i saw it, there has been a lot of talk about Democratic socialists being bad and living in Social Democracy it kind of got me worried that it will cause new head-aches of terms.

2018-08-06 15:41:23 UTC

It already has with people like Bernie

2018-08-06 15:41:36 UTC

Tbh Democratic socialims is a term meant to confuse you

2018-08-06 15:41:41 UTC

There is only socialism

2018-08-06 15:41:55 UTC

thats democraticly elected

2018-08-06 15:42:45 UTC

even though socialism isn't democratic

2018-08-06 15:45:32 UTC

e x a c t l y

2018-08-06 15:47:11 UTC

I am under impression that most objections to socialism by people is that it inherently causes lack of individual rights and power gets re-attributed to few.

2018-08-06 15:53:36 UTC

Huh, i wonder if US socialists are trying to appropriate Nordic culture.

2018-08-06 16:08:32 UTC

When they go scandinavia is socialist they probably are

2018-08-06 16:09:30 UTC

@Omsomething theyโ€™re both pretty fucking gay

2018-08-06 16:10:23 UTC

No u.

2018-08-06 16:12:29 UTC

Hmm good thing i asked this never would have thought about that cultural appropriation way of seeing, if one would think of it certain way both extreme sides of socialism discussion are doing that.

2018-08-06 16:12:43 UTC

Is interesting and amusing to me.

2018-08-06 16:44:03 UTC

Wait is that some other academy of ideas?

2018-08-06 16:44:04 UTC

IS IT GAY IF THE BALLS TOUCH?

2018-08-06 17:42:39 UTC

only if the balls touch

2018-08-06 17:46:41 UTC

Nooo

2018-08-06 17:46:51 UTC

It's only gay if balls touch chin

TFW when a book written by an American libertarian, satirized by a Hollywood leftist becomes an actual political rallying cry in Britain

he's quoting Starship Troopers

2018-08-06 18:02:00 UTC

That's actually a meme

he's like 60 years old

he wouldn't make a meme if it hit him like a truck

2018-08-06 18:04:05 UTC

I'm not sure bout that one

2018-08-06 18:04:13 UTC

Are you beit ageist?

2018-08-06 18:04:18 UTC

Being*

2018-08-06 18:05:17 UTC

He has cited the "Deus Vult" meme in previous videos

he doesn't even have a original background

2018-08-06 18:07:30 UTC

Well I wish you kids in Englamd luck.

2018-08-06 18:07:37 UTC

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ True, Paul's got him beat on that. Though to my understanding he is responsible for representing parts of Wales, so it'd make sense to have the map around

2018-08-06 18:11:43 UTC

"stop complaining about our human rights abuses or we'll fly this plane into one of your landmarks"

2018-08-06 18:12:41 UTC

@Legiondude I still haven't seen an archived version of that tweet
and it looks photoshopped

2018-08-06 18:15:19 UTC

also if they did make that original tweet they redid it without the plane

2018-08-06 18:15:42 UTC

Which the imgur image title says...

2018-08-06 18:17:28 UTC

@Legiondude wich is why I said I still haven't seen an archived version of that tweet

2018-08-06 18:17:55 UTC

You can write anything in an imgur title

Lol Starship Troopers is older than he is.

2018-08-06 19:11:58 UTC

So I looked at the SPLC website and they have a Hate Tracker. Literally claims to be exposing alt-right twitter conversations. It's kind of worrying that such a dangerous group is making lists of presumably anyone that uses a MAGA hashtag.

2018-08-06 21:09:38 UTC

If anyone worndering about #ComicsGate, it's still a thing that's hilarious.

2018-08-06 21:10:08 UTC

I contributed to the cause by doing my part of owning a SJW that was out and about lying and being a victim for attention.

2018-08-06 21:10:24 UTC

Slapped her and her arguements, left and right.

2018-08-06 21:32:15 UTC

it fun to wach comicsgate and how they cant stand that 2 creators did make more money in under 6 month then they had made in last 15 years
