Tariffs. Thus Jeff said de facto sales tax. There is no way if he jacks up tariffs left and right like he says he wants to do that it won't cause significant inflation. Then if he successfully removes 15 million people from the country, the costs to bring especially food to cosumers will significantly push prices up also. Those are the two things he seems most passionate about doing and they're both inflationary to the max.

Right, so calling it a sales tax is factually untrue. There's a big difference between a sales tax and a tariff. But just like Trump's lies, this one isn't understood by average Americans so they take it at face value.Originally posted by BlueK View Post

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

So you think its not true? FTR I have no idea what the truth is.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
I probably missed Trumps proposal for a national sales tax. He's said a lot of stuff so I don't doubt I've missed some things, but I"ve also read a lot of the Big 4 tax guides on the election and never seen anything in there about a 20% sales tax.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Saying there is no truth to it is also deceptive because it strongly implies no one will be paying more because of a new tax. A tariff is a tax and cosumers will pay more as a result. Trump is the one who is lying about what tariffs are or will do.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

It says right in the tweet, "... what I call a Trump sales tax...". It literally says that it is not literally a sales tax.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

Here’s a couple links:Originally posted by falafel View Post

Trump advisors already letting money managers know that sweeping tariffs are incoming.
https://www.ntu.org/publications/det...d-tax-increase
This tax think tank is probably where Kamala is getting the 4k tax number since they are conservative and they estimate a 4k increase in burdens in the American family.
But Moliere knows this he’s just pretending to be ignorant so he can say that both sides lie and he feels better about himself when he votes for Trump.

10 bucks says he wanted to see how long his fans would stay in the stands to adore him. I bet some of them would stay even longer than 20 minutes.
Off the charts weird. But such delicious schadenfreude that Noem is stuck there the whole time dancing along with Trump. May all Trump sycophants enjoy a similar fate.

So glad we got Harris’s medical exams findings. We can now dodge the bullet of a president that has…allergies.

Let us not forget that per his personal physician, Trump is the healthiest person ever to hold the presidency. Not to mention that he had self-healing bone spurs.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View PostSo glad we got Harris’s medical exams findings.

Just doesn't matter. MAGA is cult brain wired. It's depressing that this race is a tossup.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post10 bucks says he wanted to see how long his fans would stay in the stands to adore him. I bet some of them would stay even longer than 20 minutes.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

In an ironic twist of fate that has nothing to do with the subject at hand, I was browsing TikTok this morning, and found someone put the lyrics of "Baby Got Back" to "Hallelujah." It was surprisingly awesome.Originally posted by Pelado View Post

Also, I thought it particularly fantastic that the very first song they played was a big ol' hint to Trump: "Time to Say Goodbye."
