Like what are we going to do, have foreign countries barter with 600+ people in Congress controlled by Jews and special interests? You'll never get anything done.

i even agree with his underlying point that calling it a tax on americans is deceptive (all taxes within the supply chain necessarily must trickle down to the consumer). but he has to take it even further with flat out wrong and moronic positions like "its not a tax" and "taxes don't impact prices downstream" |

Do individual Americans have more money in their pockets as a result of the tariffs? If the counter argument is that tariffs create jobs by increasing domestic production, I would ask that proof be provided.

ok, so a 200% tariff would increase prices, so we've established that a tariff can increase prices.
what is the magical golden tariff amount that begins to impact the cost to the consumer? 5% and prices stay the same but 5.01% and the cost is passed on? |

Date: February 20th, 2026 3:00 PM Author: Cream balding goal in life Ok so let's just take a step back. The people who support tariffs first argue that a tariff isn't a tax.
The definition of tariff is presented defining it as a "tax".
The tariff supporter then says, ok yeah but it's a specific tax that is imposed on foreign countries and not Americans.
It is then pointed out that it is exclusively American businesses and individuals who pay the tariff.
The tariff supporter then says, ok yeah well it's a larger policy initiative designed to redirect American consumers to American manufacturers by making foreign goods more expensive to buy.
OK so now presented with my example, I would ask, do you think that the desired effect was achieved (i.e. that people are no longer buying swiss watches and instead are buying American made watches)?
Obviously the answer to this question is absolutely fucking not because your comment is "well you don't actually even need a watch." |

Date: February 20th, 2026 3:05 PM Author: carnelian trailer park persian Luxury goods is a bad example for your side. But at any rate people like you are filling the government coffers.

So now the goal of tariffs is to tax the rich? Wouldn't it just be easier to increase corporate income tax rates? eliminate loop holes of the ultra wealthy? increase the top marginal tax rate?
The actual result of imposing tariffs on all foreign goods is to raise the price of consumer goods for everyone at a time when inflation has already vastly outpaced wages. |

Date: February 20th, 2026 11:54 AM Author: carnelian trailer park persian in terms of penumbra realpolitik bullshit we should just have the President be the King at this point and Congress should be largely vestigial. even if a libpotus comes in next and ruins everything Trump did and puts all MAGA supporters to the sword it would be better than the gridlock bureaucracy at this point. It would at least force the issue of a civil war. We need decisive leadership. Trump being the King has been an awesome development for the country. I accept in advance that a libshit king could come and change everything. We just have to admit that Congress is fucked forever and the Presidential election should be 10x more important. The President is just the King it's okay. Fuck Congress fuck checks and balances. Let 'er rip.
also impeachments should have a vote at the beginning in the Senate to dismiss before the House makes their case. Rapid dismissal impeachments would benefit the country if it has no hope to move forward. Don't give these fuckers a month to shut down the Executive branch ffs.

without resorting to broad, vague hyperhole again, what *specific* achievable thing should we do? and for bonus points, what are *you* going to do as an individual to moge the needle on that happening? |

Like I admit to being a Wholesome Chungus paleolibertarian who wants to return to the old ways of we sit around for decades debating issues on the merits and all this idealistic bullshit. But in the real world we need someone who can pull the trigger in real time. It's obvious. Napoleon reshaped Europe because none of the old absolute monarchies could mobilize a force strong enough to defeat him without a parliamentary system. This is the same effect in reverse.

π Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974
Allows the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to investigate unfair trade practices by foreign countries (e.g., intellectual property theft, discrimination).
If a country is found to be engaging in unfair practices, the president can impose tariffs or other trade restrictions.
There’s no hard cap on tariff rates under Section 301, but procedures must be followed (investigations, consultations, comments).
This is the same law used to justify many of the China tariffs in Trump’s first term.
π Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962
Lets the president impose tariffs for national security reasons (used for steel, aluminum in recent years).
It’s more restrictive and country-specific than the emergency law Trump tried to use.
π Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974
Permits temporary tariffs (up to ~15%) for up to 150 days to address trade imbalances.
This is sometimes called a “stopgap” option if a president wants a quick tariff measure that doesn’t go through lengthy investigations.
π Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930
Allows tariffs up to 50% on imports from countries that the U.S. finds discriminate against American businesses.
Never widely used, but a legal tool available. |
