@1aatlas Neocons and NeoMarxists. Same thing.

@SanDiegoOfficial I think you don't know what Capitalism means nor "regulated".

@toddtravis2596 Those are not actual lanes.

@MrFreshEdition Or they simply won't move until they negotiate with Trump on whatever policies he's going to put in place.

@vineshnaidoo9402 I think US manufacturers should be exempt from income tax. US corporations that import their wares should pay 30% or more because every country in the world has protectionist policies in place already. That is how competent laissez faire economic planning is done. We're highly regulated but biased towards DC cronies and that is why "wokeness" is key because DEI companies can do just about anything they want. Think about COVID lockdowns and "essential businesses". How were they selected? Why do you think DEI started becoming so blatant during 2020 and thereafter? Our bureaucrats are the most self-hating on the planet.

@paulkersey724 Even Communism is State-owned Capitalism. So your comment does nothing to edify. The issue is something called unilateral free trade where foreign nations bear no real burdens of the US regulations placed on domestic manufacturers and Citizens. That's why intelligent "MAGA" frame their policy preferences as "fair trade" meaning tit for tat while the Administrative State is reduced as much as possible over time. You can't do it overnight. And this is why I hate all multilateral trade agreements. NAFTA was supposed to smooth the flow of "goods" (including illicit drugs and slaves?) across the North American borders. This is a cartoonish and delusional form of "libertarianism". It's actually the Davos cult taking over and bartering with traitors in power in each country. Most of the traitors are in the US, Canada and Europe.

@mpleleafs34 A better response once Trump is in office is looking at potential antitrust violations. But now we arrive back at the problem with the corrupted US DOJ. The USA has been sold down the river for many decades. You guys just don't understand it, from what I'm reading here.

@stewiesaidthat All of the farmers' costs are spiking. They are getting squeezed by "Climate Justice Great Reset" Marxism. And what about the "Water Wars" in California? I'm sure there are many other examples for anyone wanting a serious list.

@OGEETOMO Luxury taxes are mostly symbolic. The US gets most of its tax income from the "middle class". The US has the "fattest" working class in all the world.

@Bugginout79 You're not going to get much more sales tax from them. The comment I responded to suggested a luxury (consumer goods) tax. Most sales tax revenue comes from the middle class.

@Bugginout79 Right. And the luxury tax schemes don't generate much extra income for the public funds either. And you're still middle class unless your income is based not on work but exclusively on residuals from your own wealth/estate.

@Bugginout79 Why don't you research the etymology of the term?

We don't have a Laissez-Faire Economy in the USA. Not since FDR. So just conflating "capitalism" with laissez-faire economics and then asking if we're "capitalist or not" is stupid. And it doesn't lead to discussions that lead to actual root causes (as opposed to Marxist "root causes" that Always Blame Capitalism). With respect to Trump, he I think understands Laissez-Faire economics but has never lived under it. He knows he doesn't want to throw out tariffs on US manufacturers that move out of the USA. The problem is that the status quo is FUBAR and not easy to fix when you have, well, the kind of horrible economic policies we've had for the entire Cold War and since Clinton. Trump only had 4 years and all of the moves he made led slower to reduced regulations. Protectionism is a doctrine of protectionist interventions regardless of circumstances. He's not a protectionists. Start with a realistic understanding of the status quo.
