  1. Did the French not start Vietnam?
  2. Non-Mexicans can legally be compelled to stay in Mexico until they are approved. Asylum seekers do not get to choose which country they go to. Again, no one is attempting to block admission of qualified refugees. The truth is that no legislation was needed to close the border. Biden opened it intentionally, and Trump closed it back up in a couple weeks.
  3. I do not think it needs as much money to run as it has been. Every administration, with the possible exception of Biden's has run on cutting waste and fraud and closing the border. This administration meant it.
  4. Do you think Trump and Musk are tax evaders? Using AI I think and e-file I think with Musk in charge every return will be audited.
  5. We do not know that, to say as much is to lie. It worked out well. The middle class paid less while tax revenues went up.
  6. 500 miles were built in his first term, and Mexico did pay for it with Trump's remain in Mexico policy.
  7. Generally, VAT is collected on a product at each stage value is added to that product. You pay VAT to buy irone ore to make steel. You pay VAT to buy steel to make screws. You pay VAT to buy screws to make furniture. You pay VAT when you buy furniture. Generally, sales tax is only collected on the finished product and or at the retail level, and manufacturers would typically be exempt from paying sales tax on materials they use in production. Also, when you import something into the US for resale, you do not pay a sales tax. The sales tax is collected when it is sold retail. When you import something into a country like Thailand, you pay the VAT on the import, and the end user pays it again to the retailer. Also, in the US, sales taxes are state and local, not federal. Some states have sales taxes, some don't. Some counties or cities have sales taxes in addition to state sales taxes.
  8. We know where you stand. I can wait until the tariff debacle shakes out before I pass judgement. So far, I am pretty happy with the way most everything else seems to be going.
  9. How do you know he's changing it?
  10. So? If retirees were not able to afford to live in the US they would all move. How many are moving? And clearly, it's not the poorest that are moving. I think it more likely those that move, think they can live better on the same dough somewhere else.
  11. Lame. Poor people buy used clothes or get them free from the sally or whatnot. And they are buying new applicants for their HUD housing? You're a hoot.
  12. I do not believe that.
  13. My buddy (RIP Billy) used to say: "All my money is in houses and lots. Whorehouses and lets of booze."
  14. All the left has is hating on Trump.
