re: Name two things you would change about our U.S. government?

1) any politician that receives money from another country directly or indirectly through a middle man should be convicted of treason
2) term limits

of course it can

Replace the SS payroll tax with a sales tax that varies to cover the cost of SS every year. At the same time require 10% of payroll to be deposited into private accounts and at retirement age people can withdraw the savings at the same amount as their SS would be and no SS would be paid until the savings were depleted. In ten or twenty years SS spending would be a fraction of what it is today. The so called SS trust fund could return the massive amount of treasury debt it hold to the treasury—that one act would would create the largest budget surplus ever.

Second tax the FED and require it to be paid in debt instruments. That would dramatically reduce the balance sheet of the FED while eliminating a huge amount of US debt.

Spending cuts IB would do:

Food stamps—1) cut the food choices eligible for purchase dramatically—2) pay recipients 25% cash for any unused funds every quarter

Section 8—landlords love this and it drives up rent for everybody so I would encourage recipients to shop more by giving them 25% of any savings the negotiate on rent—we would save billions and urban rents would go down

Military—/we have to reduce our obligations—I would look at selling Japan a complete navy from our fleet in exchange for some of the trillions in US debt they hold. I would leave Africa and the Middle East. I would cut spending to NATO 10% per year for five years. Defense companies will scream.

aged perfectly

every one can see the hypocrite Trumpers that have bashed me, an importer of some manufacturing inputs that are used to employ Americans in my manufacturing business, while supporting Trump who waged a trade war for the benefit of big banks and multinationals investing in China.

i have never invested in China but certain idiots here call me a communist but love the guy that does and has invested in China.

Two pages of hypocrites insulting me but giving Trump a pass.

There is a Marriott in China. A Hilton in China. Even a holiday inn In China. For you to insinuate something nefarious was happening because trumps international hotel company was exploring licensing hotels over there is ridiculous and you know it.

People bash you because you promote pro China positions that help you financially. That’s fine. I promote a tax code that helps me financially. Trump did not, however, do anything pro China to help himself financially. In fact, you hated trump because his policies weren’t good for China. It is. The exact opposite of what you’re trying to prove.

You look silly. You had no clue what the account was for, when slapped down you tried to make it about hypocrisy. Where there is no hypocrisy.

point to one

I have never advocated for taxing Americans so potential investments and/or licensing deals I might one day do in China can be done without forced partnerships.

People like me think you are an idiot because you can’t see and won’t try to see this is what that trade war was about. Even Navarro in his book said it was what happened.

You think that was a fair election lol?

First I’d make it illegal for lobbyists to pay Congressmen, even for campaigns. How can they represent U.S. citizens best interest when they are bribed. Second, I’d make it illegal to package bills with different subjects. In other words attaching some unpopular item to something else that is likely to pass. Everything should be voted on individually. What do you think?

Why don’t you practice what you preach Hank?

Are you going to offer a retraction after calling me a lying sociopath for stating something that is indisputably true?

Trump reported $6.5 million in income from China in 2019 and you probably have built a shrine to him.

I made a bit from China in 2019 as well.

If the opportunities are there due to stupid US policy, it's poor investment strategy not to take advantage. The difference is I'd never support bad US policy to enhance that advantage. You'd seem willing to lobby for it.
