  1. It hurts the government who's capitalizing on the income from the businesses producing products. I already stated it is not about the individuals themselves trying to move north.
  2. What is your proposed idea to fix the illegal immigration situation? Personally, I don't have one.. Something needs to be done but I don't exactly have a good idea on how to fix it.
  3. It isn't intended to hurt Americans. It isn't after the individuals who are trying to flee here. It will hurt the corrupt government in the only place you can hurt them, their pockets. After going after the cash in their pockets because companies are fleeing manufacturing in your country and going elsewhere, they will realize they need to help us with the border protection to keep companies in their own country. That is the intent. I believe.
  4. And that takes jobs out of Mexico, that's the whole point of this. He wants to hurt Mexico if they aren't willing to help with border protection.
  5. YUP. THAT'S my biggest concern. The companies the tariffs are going at the most are of course the largest and they have too high of production to just flip a switch in a week, month, or even six months to be able to bring production back here, even if they wanted to. I believe there should have been a warning of 12 months. Make it official(otherwise companies will not take it serious) and enforce it next June. That gives them time to either decide to keep production in Mexico or to get a plan set and in motion to move back to the US.
  6. Will there be higher prices? Isn't the Envision built in China with their dirt cheap labor? Is that not still priced like its competition? they're just pocketing more cash. We all assume prices will skyrocket because either a tariff or production will be here with higher labor costs yet GM has proved they still sell their Envision, built in China, at class competitive prices. I'm not trying to say prices won't jump, just throwing out a differing point of view.
  7. I don't have an issue with the tariffs being put in place but if the goal is to bring production back to the US I feel like there should have been a 1 year heads-up so the companies actually CAN bring production back if they choose to. They don't have the time in one month(of less whenever it was first announced) to either buy a plant or build a plant. That would be my biggest gripe about the whole situation is the time frame from announcement to enactment. If all of the auto companies were like, " okay, we will bring production back to the US." They would still be stuck paying the tariffs even if they were 100% on board with bringing production back to the US as quick as possible. C'mon man, it was a joke. I took two soft shots..
  8. Seemed relevant. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a27702580/car-prices-us-tariffs-mexican-imports/ Here are the 39 new cars and trucks currently built in Mexico and exported to the U.S. (all plant and production data sourced from Automotive News?

  9. Maybe because this is a preexisting platform by 2021 there will be a heavy refresh or new one on deck already..? The only reason I remember this is because I remember thinking it was ridiculous that their new, large,CUV, that is supposed to compete with the big BMW and Merc, didn't have their latest and greatest technology. I remember specifically being disappointed in its lack of SuperCruise.
  10. It was just a joke. Calm down buddy(or don't calm down because you dislike it when people tell you what to do).
  11. Correct, XT6. i thought I originally read it would not have SuperCruise..
  12. *watches frustration build as ccap insulted him yet he also insulted Trump*
  13. Surreal doesn't understand business and taxes. He should run for President next.
  14. They are absolutely treated differently. The Walton's personal taxes are not going to be anything like Wal*mart's. Personal and corporate are wildly different. Maybe I'm missing something here and why they would possibly be inseparable from each other.
  15. I said, "I'm not doubting that." I wasn't disputing you. Nor did they on mine. What is difficult to understand about that? I already told you my personal voting has had no outside influence from my state's views, as a whole. I was just stating that my votes were irrelevant because the entirety of the state.
  16. That would be under the corporate or foundation taxes filed, not his personal taxes.
  17. I'm not doubting that. Sorry, I should know you aren't as familiar with my state as I am. That's my fault. What I meant is that in my state(Illinois) there was one outcome regardless of who I voted for because Chicago has been voting very strongly for the democratic parties for a very long time now, since 1992. Yes, there were literally more than one person to vote for but there was one outcome predicted years in advance. I hope this clarifies my wording error.
  18. You know what I meant. It is democratic run and has been for the last seven elections in an overwhelming vote dominated by Chicago.
  19. Then why did you say I only saw two parties(after mentioning voting for three parties during the most recent elections)?
  20. I don't believe it was outgoing funds. It was the incoming funds that was the issue. It was/is a money laundering foundation for persuasive and powerful people.
  21. My state had one choice. I knew going into the election my state would be a democratic state because of Chicago. They dominate the state's voting, obviously. Did you miss where I said I didn't just vote democratic or republican? I voted for libertarians and no party associated all on the same ballot. If anything, I'm the opposite of the problem. I read, researched what I believed in and what the candidates believed in and voted for everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and no associated party people.
  22. He comes across as innocent as the Clinton Foundation. I hope you don't see that as innocent either, right? Politicians are corrupt. Period. Finding the least bad is what it has come down to and obviously people will have various opinions and value different things in a candidate.
  23. He was a dogsht candidate. I know he was. I believe he was the best of the two absolutely garbage candidates that made it there. It was terrible that we had to choose between a douche and a turd sandwich(South Park reference that is quite accurate). Personally, I believed in him more than I did Hillary. Neither of those two should have made it to that point.
  24. Oh no. I am not that extreme at all. I lean right but I am no far right or extremist by any stretch of the imagination. Not like anybody here actually cares but prior to my voting(every time) I look up all candidates, take notes on what they believe in and what I believe in, takes my little scratch pad with me and vote with my heart/opinions. I have never blindly voted all down one side of the ballot for whichever candidates are Republican or Democrats. I'll openly admit to voting for Democrats in this past election along with libertarians and republicans. I have never, and never plan to, blindly vote without informing myself in who I am voting for. I'm sorry if that is how you want to take what I said but. for the record, I do not feel that way. I do care about my fellow citizens and I do care about the future of my country.
