Operation Walz ...

Yesterday the Star Tribune published the story ...
  (Now called the, RED STAR)
(used to be two newspapers, the Star and the Tribune)

"In substance the story is grossly stupid, incompetent, lazy, and false. ..."

It opens accurately, ... that “Democrats allowed a $1+ billion heist to take place”  

Welcome to Timmy Tampon's
destruction of what was
once a HONEST State.

The main reason to pay taxes, unless you're a capitalist oligarch, is that everyone who stops paying taxes goes to jail, unless they agree to garnished wages.

The tax system is broken, so Trump abolishes taxes and imposes tariffs on foreign countries. So, no taxes and incentives for domestic production.

It worked before and it will work again.

Trump will go down in history as the best president ever.

It's just a MAGAT attempt to get around the tax codes and initiate a flat rate tax, which EVERY economist agrees puts the tax burden primarily on the poor. So, they SAY they're going to remove income tax, but the People will have to pay the tariff costs. If you're a billionaire, your maintenance costs, for food, housing, medical, transportation, etc., are a TINY fraction of what you earn, so the amount is negligible. If you make $60,000 a year or less, that percentage will be a lot higher than the 15-17% you would have paid.  Typical MAGAT DISinformation.

When have tariffs EVER improved the economy?  NEVER.

Stay on topic. My point is my tax money is being blatantly stolen, and in this case by the ineptitude of Minnesota’s state government.

You are.
But you don,t pay income tax. No government reaching in your pay check before you even see it. Smiley
You pay tariffs so you buy more USA made stuff.
Whits stimulates us production, whits creates more job,s.

And let's face it, the IRS is a monster, and so is the tax code. We can't continue like this. And the national debt will certainly kill us in a few years. So, courageous action is needed.

We consume too much, and the trick of printing money no longer works, because the foreign countries no longer want to pay with dollars for oil,so who wants dollars? And your tax system is broken, and there are too many fingers in the honeypot.

America is not in a good state at the moment.

America can no longer afford to invest so much money abroad because it no longer has a return on its investment, as China is scooping up all the good deals because they have more money. If you don't counter that with tariffs Your done, And you don't stimulate production. And if there's no production at home, you no longer generate any money.

It's not a Trump trick; it's a dire necessity.

 Tell that to the US stock market which is setting record highs.

And what do you think will happen if the AI ​​bubble bursts? How will you recover from that if China has a much higher production capacity? And you no longer receive income taxes? And the national debt explodes? And the petrodollar is gone? Where will that money come from if you can no longer print it?

 I believe it is highly unlikely that all of those things will happen at once.  The probability is astronomical that all of that will correlate and impact the US simultaneously.

 I've gone my whole life hearing how any minute the US dollar will crash and we will all be in an apocalyptic wasteland indebted to China and there will be no cash.  Instead of preparing for that, I prepared for reasonable economic outcomes using actual market data and have had no problems making it from one year to another.

My company has made the business decision to absorb the extra costs of tariffs on foreign components and not pass these along to our customers. That’s a step not every industry can afford of course.

I don’t know and I doubt a reliable number could be found that shows what % of the extra tariff costs are absorbed, paid by the originating country (through various financial techniques)or passed along and paid by the consumer.

But I will say with certainty, those crying about this extra cost being passed to the consumer are the same ones demanding higher wages and either ignoring the effect that has on the price the consumer pays or they demand the company themselves absorb the cost of what is essentially another tax on the business.
