WalMArt change when Mr. Sam died. No more made in the USA.

People have been looking for illegal votes for years.

Even True The Vote can't find any.

You are repeating Bullchit.

It is governments job to tax and tariff to keep us on a level playing field with the rest of the world. Sadly several admins from both parties have done nothing, or simply got it backwards. Applying the liberal tax program to cheap imports, and offering incentives and breaks to companies manufacturing products in the USA would have gone a long ways.

We are a free enterprise economy. Why should the government be giving any consideration to any business?

The government needs to stop picking winners and losers. No tax breaks or incentives to anybody. just my .02

Glad some conservatives are putting country before Trump.
Exactly!

See how that attitude holds up when our nation is broke and nothing but a massive consumer and service group, and you're living with 10 of your relatives in one tiny apartment.

Every country does this, they tariff imports from other countries to keep their domestic products competitive. England for example, has 40% tariffs on goods from the USA as they are one of the most expensive nations in the world to produce goods due to the cost of living and lack of raw materials. Without that, literally nothing would be made there and England would go broke in no time.

Btw, the Walton family is or was, one of the largest campaign contributors in the US. Assumingly, to keep the tables tilted their way and the Chinese goods flowing at nearly zero tariffs.

MEH -- he said Maybe you do both -- I might do both.

NO NO NO -- you don't take the info...you contact the FBI right away.

Have we learned nothing from 2016.

Seriously -- even if in the back of his head he is thinking -- oh yeah I'm taking that call with Putin - -had that meeting with Putin....lol....you don't admit to the nation that you are open to foreign governments feeding you intel on your opponents.

It is about as un-American as you can get.

Or so I thought.

And here you all accuse liberals of working with the commies.....lolol.

Trump basically said if the commies want to help me -- yeah I'm in.
