But you haven't made that point. You haven't answered a single substantive question about these kinds of trade agreements. All you've managed to do is throw out phrases like "seat at the table" which sound weighty, but haven't discussed what these treaties do to, or for, the signatories.

Don't hold your breath Sigs. I've been waiting for several days for somebody to give me a reason why Trump's Pocahontas comment was a racial slur, but nobody can give me an actual answer. The best I got was "if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you."

The deflections of your typical neo-liberal regressionist. No thoughts. All feels.

Here you are proving my point. Tax "Havens" is merely LibtardSpeak for a situation where a LOWER Tax Rate is where any reasonable and rational person would willingly pay their fair share of Taxes, instead of the option of paying obtrusively excessive high confiscatory Tax Rates outside of the "Tax Haven" environment.
So, Lower Tax Rate results in Higher Tax Revenue for the Taxing Authority, and Higher Tax Rate results in Lower Tax Revenue. Or, more precisely, LOSS of Tax Revenue.
Pretty logical.

If it were me, I'd simply drop the tax rate but also eliminate specialized deductions, exemptions, expenses, depreciations, subsidies, etc.
Is this another endorsement of Consumption Tax? Reason may be dawning.
Quote:

OH BTW- JSF- that concept that lower rates increvase tax revenues has been disproved over and over and over again. That is a misapplication of a concept called the aptly-named "Laffer Curve". Every tax-cutting Republican President - including Reagan- sang that song, and every one of them was proved wrong, as demonstrated by the history of actual government revenues versus tax rates.

Before you forward an idea like this, it would be useful to look up actual numbers to see if it's been validated by reality.

The Koolaid is strong with this one.
Please provide a valid example of this: identify one time when LOWERING the Federal Tax RATE resulted in LESS Federal Tax Revenues.

I guess "Reaganomics Denier" is a thing now, another version of Libtard Surreality.

Is this the sound of crickets?

A chorus of crickets.

I understand that under Trump, black unemployment has fallen to the lowest level in 17 years.

I am shocked, just shocked I say, that I have not heard the MSM uncover this fact.
