And those programs both are terrible. Medicare drives up the price of healthcare for everyone other than those taking medicare. Social Security is a huge rip off for the people that pay in. If I had the money I paid into Social security along with my employers match, over my career under my own management it would be worth 8 figures. Instead I get a pitance when I am 62. Then when I drop dead my kids get nothing.

As I understand it ... President Donald Trump will drive tarriffs up to reduce income tax. Which he said he was going to do. Making foreign products more expensive while (If income tax is deeply reduced) giving more cash for the average Joe to spend. Yes on more expensive foreign products ... but USA products will start ramping up. Very much like a stimulus package that takes from foreign cloners like China and moves wealth to the USA

Those "bleed-out" systems have already been bled dry. Empty; spent; unless immigrants can throw some taxes to feed those vacuums of stolen moneys.
Would happily opt out this instant if given the choice.
Don't forget to opt out of farming subsidies too. Gotta be consistent 
The problem with that is 50% of the country pays no federal income tax.
This in spades.
You don't even live on this continent, WTF business is it of yours?Don't forget to opt out of farming subsidies too. Gotta be consistent

Biden has proposed ending the de minimus exemption that allows direct shipments of packages from China without an imposed tariff as long as the package value is less than $800
That will put a hurt on the Chinese saws coming in.

Watch your language, sunshine.
To answer your question: I enjoy pissing of hypocrites on all continents. If Medicare is socialism, so are farming subsidies.

I dont know why all us little people that have no choice but to pay taxes on everything, worry so much. It's always been the same, they have huge obscene amounts to waste on military. The richest countries on earth have the poor people living under bridges in boxes? Crazy world run but corporate military complex

Don't forget all "green" tech.
for over 50 years they took more money out of my pay checks for social security than I will likely live long enough to ever get back.
Don't bite the hands that feeds. You should pucker up and kiss our American asses since you likely wouldn't exist without our help.
Which time? Lots of white flags waved over the years from that area.

But will the tariffs affect stihl since zama carbs are made in china.So if you support stihl you are still supporting communist. If you take meds or use medical supplys or any number of things.It's just hard to get around it.But i think that was the end goal.Saws are just the tip of the iceberg,chinese parts are integrated into about everything.They also are in the meat business and vegetable and about anything you can think of.So if someone is smart enough to ween themselves completely please let me know how so i can do it too.

Yeah ... I am hoping to see some significant "Make America Great" changes; that will be long lasting and free from Oh'Bummers 4th term. I am expecting Chainsaw prices to rise 10-20% across the board. 30% for the Chinese imports if Trump gains Presidency and raises Tarriffs.
Fondler must be a frog?
