that will cost much more than the stated amount to build, even more hard costs into perpetuity to maintain and which, by the way, we don't need in the first place.

          the corp tax rate problem isn't the rate, it's the loopholes - RHAYWORTH MU - 1/27 12:32:56

               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
