POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

Feel free to link to data on the effects of sales tax on the price elasticity of toaster ovens if you'd like to scratch that particular academic itch but as unofan has pointed out, none of that changes the fact that sales taxes are regressive. As in period, end of story.

With no data of my own, just common sense and personal observation, I find that assertion ludicrous. That 5% is just tacked on, market forces/competition should, and undoubtedly would, drive that out of the price. Or are the laws of supply and demand no longer a thing in economics?
You are 100% correct. No merchant ever takes into account the local sales tax when calculating a retail price on a product. The price is driven by competition. Let's not forget that the Internet is tax free with the exception if the company has an operation in your state. If they do, a store or warehouse, then you pay your local tax.

I'm going to try to not post his tweets as much, but something is seriously, seriously wrong with this man.

Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

With as furious as Mr. Man-Child President Elect has Tweeted lately, the White House Correspondent's dinner is going to be a riot.


No. Seriously. If Trump gets roasted at the dinner, by the end of the night the Washington D.C. Hilton will look like 1960's Birmingham, Alabama.
 
Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

Maybe aparch meant stronghold large enough to offset the rest of the state? I used to think Detroit was one of those...

I still think Detroit is a stronghold. 2016 was an anomaly triggered by disillusion re: Hillary.

If the Dems nominate another Obama next cycle, Trump's goose is cooked.

Yes, please. Then, maybe, real 'Murica will figure it out (and I don't mean Trump's diehards).

He's going to do the same thing on immigration. He'll implement the same deportation policies as Obama (deporting those with criminal records) and then claim he's some sort of bad @ ss for doing so. He'll also find out how much money Mexicans spend to get their tourist visas or whatever and claim that's the money Mexico is giving us to build the wall. Sheep like media will eat it up. :D

You spelled delusion wrong.

Worse yet, he could do absolutely nothing but reimplement all of Obama's policies. He'll claim he fixed it all and his stupid zealot followers will believe it because there's no way some blackie could have accomplished this. Him and that stupid ape in heels.

We will all miss Obama over the next four years. Having a dignified family occupying the White House is something we take for granted.

That would actually be the best case. I care much less about which blowhard claims credit, than about the survival of the nation. But I can't imagine he would be so sensible.

If the market cratered after 11/8, would it be tD's or BHO's fault?

I think the most partisan person would be just a little more specific. Such as some discussion as to the cause.
