Oh the irony...

What do you expect, Trump was/is a business man, he had to play by the corrupt horrific laws put in place by the democrats.

He is a dude that just wanted to make money, he is also a dude that wants to pay as little tax as possible. See these things make him a normal person like you and me. Not a career politician who lives a total lie.

I am a partner in a business, Distribution, and when we started 34 years ago everything was made right here in the good old USA. 34 years later we import 80% of our product. I am sure many would look at us and say we are just greedy but that is not true. If I purchased our products in the USA (which I no longer can) I could not compete and all 175 of my employees would be unemployed.

If tariffs were placed on these products that made buying USA a better deal than importing then we would be making it here instead of over there. Problem of course is that the price is inflated and we the consumers must pay the price.

Americans are a strange lot. We want to raise the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour so we can shop at Wal-Mart and buy things cheaper than what they are available anywhere else in the world and then complain that everything we buy is made in a foreign country and not the USA.

You may or may not like it but everything is becoming global, you can not stop it forever. The problem with Western culture is we think we can drag all nations up to our standard of living. That will not happen. Yes some of the poorest will come up but America's will go down. You can not in the long run compete on the world stage when you pay $15 and hour and they pay $7 a day.

I do a lot of missionary work in third world countries. Americans have NO IDEA what poor is. In America we look around and compare ourselves with other Americans. We need to stop doing that. Our standard of living is NOT the norm.

Hmm... so what are you saying?

I've done volunteer work in some severely impoverished areas in several states.  I think they know what poverty is...

Yea rules or regulations whatever you want to call them.  Regulations are putting a strangle hold on American business.  Want to take a guess at who likes regulations?  And what is with all this outrage about who is gonna pay for the wall?  When did democrats ever care about spending the tax payers money?  Also, do you know how much illegal immigration costs the tax payers?  Between public assistance, education, law enforcement, medical etc...by anyones measure it is many billions a year.

Well, if New Balance (a trump supporter actually) can do it, then any company can.

Yep,  they CAN,
 Cause   your  Savior,  Obama  SAID !

So   T&T,  I guess,  YOU,  (when you do your  Taxes),  will be giving a,
EXTRA,  2,000.00+  Check,
 Just  Because.   ????????

And of course, it is  SO   Obvious, that,  YOU,
do  NOT,  take   ANY,   Deductions.
            Of  Course Not.

And  Never Mind, that a  Person, who,
TOOK ADVANTAGE of a  situation,
(Which of  Course,  you would ,  NEVER DO)

That, advantage, will be gone ?
By a  person, saying, ‘“it should be gone”.
Who, knows,  that  advantage will be gone?

So,  When you do your  Taxes this year.
Make  SURE, you do  NOT,
take advantage of,  ANY,  ‘deductions’.
And  Pay   MORE,  than you, owe’  !!!!!!!!

How many would call Trump stupid for making less and paying higher taxes if he did open a business in America?
