    so his plan was to force consumers to pay for it through VAT? how the fuck is that redistribution of wealth?

    small businesses, low income households and rural communities would have the most to lose! thats not even mentioning the cluster fuck it would put American medical in since they would likely be hit the hardest due to all of the products and services they use that are made across the entire world.

    let’s ignore the obvious though, and say that it happened. VAT is in place. now what happens?

    Sure the government could redistribute those taxes back through welfare but let’s be honest, 75-85% of those funds would be earmarked for defense like it always is.

    it’s a stupid idea that only idiots support, and there’s plenty of idiots already running the show now.

        just because you don’t understand how a VAT works doesn’t mean anyone who speaks out against them knows less than you.

        not sure if you realize this, but you’re no better than a MAGAt singing the glory of your fearless leader. only difference is that Trump was able to brainwash more people and I don’t know if that’s better or worse for you. you got swept up in a two-bit charlatans half-baked dream of “wealth distribution” and didn’t bother to look at the pill he told you to swallow.

        get your shit together and figure it out. ignorance of the truth is no excuse to the garbage you’re supporting.
