Again will avoid destabilizing the market with businesses struggling to catch up with the change in wages and those surviving raising the cost of goods. There is a lot of Debt the U.S. is in. If the U.S. can generate more funds via a VAT. Also curb spending by capping the budget, modernizing various Government departments, reforming Government services, and combining Government services will help lowering US spending.

So that's why I am voting for Yang. Feel if he chooses a Dem with military background for his VP be a great combo.
Zero chance. Companies already know you can afford $x for their product, a decrease in taxes will equate to an increase in their profit margin.

No. I'm just ignoring your exclusive blend of nitpicking and trolling. Welcome to my ignore list, but I must warn you, it's a lonely place.

The foriegn policy bit was really bad. Protecting our industries from corporate explotation = unfair aggression.

National security involving opening markets for big corporations= good aggression.

God the man should just prop himself up by opening a direct line to a mutually owned shell company of the fortune 500 financial and tech companies so they can directly manage our government.

Who needs lobbying when you have yang?

Though I'm sure old industrial companies and hardware companies will be pissed at him since he is siding with the new generation of conglomerates.

Yea most of the critiques against Yang just don't make any sense. Its like they are desperate to find anything wrong with his plan.

Lol, thats cute. So Yang says something in his own words that is completely wrong and you choose to attack me because I want to know what you think of that flaw in his argument.

Its a huge flaw mind-you. He is basically saying that pay for car assembly for example should be significantly more for the person who assembles a Cadillac vs the person who assembles a Civic.

How does that make sense?
