For products that require lots of labor, clearly labor. But even worse is that this tax will essentially be wasted on building a dumb wall...so you have to pay higher due to taxes, and get essentially no benefit.

                              Anything manufactured in mexico SHOULD have the VAT - Spanky KU - 1/27 13:14:15
                                   that's not how a VAT works(nm) - tigerdb MU - 1/27 13:30:47
                                        It acts like a duty on imports - Spanky KU - 1/27 14:02:15

                    Its not surprising the way repubs embrace their liberalism - JG MU - 1/27 12:39:12
     What the liberals (and republicans) don't realize is that - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:28:21
          And if that all comes to fruition - meatiger MU - 1/27 12:30:58
          Lol, no one is getting paid $15/hr to pick watermelon or - MrBlueSky MU - 1/27 12:29:17

     You're talking about different things... - Gyro MU - 1/27 12:23:44
          Consumption does not drive an economy (nm) - pickle MU - 1/27 13:12:36
          No. You work at Taco Bell making $15/hr, the price - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 12:25:11
               Precisely - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 1/27 12:28:49

                         no economist thinks 15 an hour minimum wage is a good idea - NWMizzouFan MU - 1/27 13:15:52
          totally ignoring the higher cost of labor being passed - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:24:44
     and vice versa for the other libs - JG MU - 1/27 12:23:16
          Had to break my silence to congratulate you for being right - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 12:28:56
               LOL I agree that you agree with me so very rarely - JG MU - 1/27 12:33:48
                    Lol. (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 12:34:31
                         You should not find that funny - JG MU - 1/27 12:35:24
     So you are ok with the 35% corp tax rate - meatiger MU - 1/27 12:19:26
          the corp tax rate problem isn't the rate, it's the loopholes - RHAYWORTH MU - 1/27 12:32:56
               That rate, by the way, and I agree...would actually... - Gyro MU - 1/27 12:51:57
          strawman time huh?(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:21:56
          What does a corporate tax rate have to do with tariffs or - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 12:21:10
               Well what does an import tariff have to do with minimum wage - Gyro MU - 1/27 12:24:48
                    Arguing how one will hurt consumers - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 12:26:41
                         First, I never said I was for a $15/hour min wage, but I am. - Gyro MU - 1/27 12:53:58
                              A "living minimum wage" is retarded.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 13:02:48
                         BINGO(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:27:15
                    I was relating both to the consumer and what he - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:25:39
               Taxation - meatiger MU - 1/27 12:24:11
                    what has a greater impact? taxation or cost of labor?(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:27:01
                         It depends - meatiger MU - 1/27 12:28:55
                              So the argument that it will raise prices is just a strawman - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:30:01
                                   that's just silly - place a 20% tax on a good entering the - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:47:17
                                        Of course it will but meat just said that is irrelevant - hefeweizen MU - 1/27 12:49:25
                                             It's really pretty simple - the US taxpayer/consumer are - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:52:05
                                   I think both are valid arguments - meatiger MU - 1/27 12:32:40
     And they ignore the 15% tax that Mexico places on all US - Spanky KU - 1/27 12:15:03
          It's not ignored - you're just wrong - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:39:25
               and so it functions as a tariff - FootballRefugee MU - 1/27 12:41:37
                    that would only be the case if goods produced in mexico - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:43:21
                         no, a VAT should be on stages of production - FootballRefugee MU - 1/27 12:51:29
                              Look junior, you're just flat out wrong... - tigerdb MU - 1/27 13:02:35
                                   you're projecting, son - FootballRefugee MU - 1/27 13:04:13
          Yet Trump never talks about that - meatiger MU - 1/27 12:20:04
               He doesn't directly talk about the rate - Spanky KU - 1/27 12:27:19
                    just like we tax theirs with sales & excise taxes(nm) - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:41:29
                         Nope... Not like that at all - Spanky KU - 1/27 12:53:39
                              Just rubbish - tigerdb MU - 1/27 12:56:52
                                   Krugman is wrong. It is basically a duty when applied - Spanky KU - 1/27 13:04:23
                                   Krugman isn't an economist either. (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 12:58:50
                                        Princeton..blah, we've got much better economists on the - tigerdb MU - 1/27 13:03:58
                                             Krugman is a political hack who changes his economic ideas - TigerMatt STL - 1/27 13:17:23
