On Day 4: Trump starts building The Wall

Isn't Ivanka Trump a converted Orthodox Jew  

Her husband is related to someone high in the Israeli government I believe.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Unfortunately yes.
I recall even one of the high ranking military personnel admitting they had only handful of "real rebels" to train.

I believe their goal was to train 5000 rebels and brought arms for them all. Less than 100 showed up and all of the arms went missing. You know some American military guys sold all that shit off for millions.

If you were to ask me what 2 things I truly think Obama fucked up, it's Syria and Libya. Those two things should have never happened.

because Americans are *dying* to get their hands on that high quality Mexican product...   

are you daft? do you know what mexico exports? or how many american jobs are entirely dependent on trade with mexico

sounds like your job is dependent on Mexico.  sad.

A lot of tech companies have assembly in mexico. They will move them back to the US, but then buy more robots to do the assembly. It won't really make much of a difference in the long run. I was talking to a hardware manufacturer yesterday. The one thing another VAR said was that it is very possible that support and customer service during the supply chain could improve.

That would be nice.

[El Diablo Blanco]

will that mean more money for my Corona Beers? what about avacados

[TuHolmes]

Yes on both.

Americans import about $300 billion a year from Mexico.

[tom joad]

Re-enact the Smoot-Hawley Tariff!

(it worked well in the '30s.)

[SaintAnger]

Americans import about $300 billion a year from Mexico.

Well, we have a burning desire to feed our racist needs here stateside, so we're going to execute a fantastic business deal.  A deal where we spend $13 billion on a wall while alienating one of our greatest trade and law enforcement partners.  Then, we're going to tax them 20% not realizing they can do the same shit to us on that $300 billion you spoke of.

Mexico has a 15% Value Added Tax on all imports from the USA already. We don't have that on Mexican imports.Trump's just letting the USA catch up with them in the taxing game.

I didn't know that.  Still, why not just add the tax?  Why have Americans pay for the wall on the front end or even build the wall?

Turn on the news.  There are so many controversies swirling around now, it's embarrassing.  Makes Nixon & Roy Cohn look like a saint.

Trump IS adding the tax!

No point in watching the MSM. No matter how much they try to make Bill and Hillary look like saints, no one believes their lies, and fake news.

I believe them.  They are the only credible source left standing.  Their bias is obvious, but its all we have.  The right wingers have no credibility IMO.  They are mostly opinion, spin and the rest is them regurgitating what the MSM reported first.  No one breaks rank and runs to the right wing media to expose a story.

MSM always gets the scoop.

Here's a scoop they missed: President Trump!

That's just wrong...

A VAT is basically a sales tax. It is levied on both domestic and imported goods, so that it doesn’t protect against imports — which is why it’s allowed under international trade rules, and not considered a protectionist trade policy.

What's wrong is we don't have one. However Trump will remedy that!

You don't seem to understand...Mexico's 15% is the same as your state's sales tax.
Their 15% is charged on both foreign and domestic goods.

He's a moron. Why argue with a retard?

Their 15% is a federal sales tax, not a state sales tax. That money goes directly into Mexico's federal coffers. That's where the tax money, that Trump is proposing, will go. And, it will pay for the Wall.

On everything. So if we do that, then your car will also get a 15% sales tax even if it's made in the States. That's what a VAT does in Mexico. It's just an additional sales tax on everything.

Now, if Trump decides to implement some kind of Tariff and it helps, great!

If it hurts, people are gonna be kinda pissed.

[Nails]

So if American Tax payers pay for this wall, and Mexico will pay us 100% pack, how will the US Government send me back my money once mexico pays them for this wall i paid for
