4 years, 2 months....

 

And to quote another rip roaring successful politician, The Giant Trump has been telling us for 2 or 3 years that he has oven ready solutions to it all. He's been carefully thinking about this, 2 months in power - this time round - yes, but planning what to do for 2 more years before that... and still not doing a great job yet despite all his considerations. His current policies are predicted that their debt mountain will rise... even with all his thinking.

 

 

My thinking is based on history and the leopard not changing his spots.

But if you were in his position, what would you be doing? Easing the taxes on the rich to pass the taxes onto poor, a blanket tax rise? Tax corporations? What do you think the best way to balance the books are?

No, 2 months.

 

Sleepy Joe, pretty much erased everything Donald did last time.

 

That's why this time it's all guns blazing, so the results can be seen quickly and visible over the next 3.5 years as Donald 1 took the slow approach and that backfired before they had been implemented and realised.

Personally I'd get rid of the offsetting tax things using charity.

 

That's how the rich reduce tax in the USA, whilst you can argue it's good for museums etc as that's why we had a lot of libraries here funded in part by Carnegie.

The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States...

Fair play, I didnt even know that the US produced Champagne!

 

"We are putting 200% tariffs on French cheese imports, this will be great for the US French cheese industry"

 

The mind boggles.

Not sure how much that would bring in, usually a lot of small amounts brings bigger returns than a few larger amounts... but the lots of small stuff is usually from the lower rungs of the ladder... his base support so perhaps not the best option (and one I wouldn't do either)

 

Yup, though a lot of loop holes could be plugged... though that will of course affect the wealthy who can afford the accountant to tell them what to do. I'd also look at plugging companies off shore rules (example, Starbucks? I think HQ is in the Bahamas? zero corporation tax and all their shops pay a license fee to them there... equal pretty much to each stores annual profit... same with googles and so on.. that is worth  few billion too

 

So far then, plug the loopholes and don't do the tax cuts? Actually that just might be enough. Still don't buy Greenland though.

Thing is the whole charity thing is effectively tax offset not avoiding tax, they still pay a percentage but it doesn't go to the government.

 

The Starbucks example is the same for Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc. The same Ikea 30% profit model, every layer is separate including trademark and royalties.

 

It's legal because they only tax whichever layer and where, it the same thing Branson does leasing the virgin name.

 

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but you make a system as simple as possible and it gets followed, same as here it 600+ pages of vagueness.

 

Wasn't the usa system created because of Rockefeller or similar his earnings were like 5 times the USA ?.
