How many PC parts are actually made in the US?

If you ever gave a view to any newspaper then you are, per definition, part of the problem.

Didn't know Trump was a communist.

It's not a game console faggot. No import tariff. kys before we come and do it for you.

Whynot increase taxes for every luxury product instead of just on consoles? US is the most retarded country I have ever seen.

It's a tax on essentially all products that come from China. Guess what else is made in China.

Tax people not products
Realistically though, I feel like the biggest issue with more average class working individuals asking for the rich to be taxed more is that those same people are still most likely trying to climb the socio economic ladder themselves. Until you actually reach upper middle class or higher, most of America is fed the lie that if you aren't a millionaire you've somehow failed in life so you get all these people trying to work for "the dream" but they still want other rich people to get fucked over for it but when they hypothetically get rich, what then?
People don't think these things through I feel

Normies hate video games (always have and always will), so it's an easy target. The only familiarity normies have with video games is watching their dumb kids waste time and effort playing japanese propaganda.

I think those tariffs are on Chinese imports in general, not just consoles.

>PC 'masterace'
>is illiterate

Read the first paragraph of your own article, numb nuts
It's a tariff on China that would impact stuff being imported, not consoles themselves.
Trump's goal is to dismantle China, the U.S.'s only near peer, by encouraging either manufacturing within the United States or within other, non competing nations.

No it isn't. The popular "games" are just movies in disguise, and everything resembling an actual video games is derided as kiddie shit.

2nd hand knowledge is like when birds vomit into their children because they can't disgest raw information on their own.

Movies games are only played by upper normalfags. It's mobile games that reach the normalfags and those are proper games even if they are garbage and casual. My mother never played video games in her entire life but now she plays some kind of game on her tablet pretty much every single day.

4 MORE YEARS YOU FUCKING LEFTIST PIECES OF SHIT

>ESL doesn't know what the term luxury means

If the company doesn't move and simply increases their prices to compensate, yes.

This, Americans that don't live in big cities are fucking low test retards who can't think beyond their own nose in terms of seeing the results of these actions
Bringing back jobs means price hikes because of labor standards and laws here but in America the mindset of most is that working is bad and people don't want to work so of course they won't do factory production jobs, meanwhile they'll demean minorities or just workers in other countries for doing the jobs they're already too lazy to do. Big bunch of irony in this shit hole country

Same, but even normies know the difference between mobile games and console games. This is why your mom isn't digging through the closet to play your old NES. It doesn't count and it never will.

>deflecting

They don't have the hand eye coordination to use a controller or pretty much anything more advanced than tapping on a screen. This is something one cannot believe if they grew up playing video games but people that started with video games late in life have immense trouble using a controller, at least for the first couple of times and they immediately become discouraged. Tapping on a screen is extremely intuitive and that's the reason smartphones and mobile games took off, everyone can do it pretty much the very first time they try.

Virtually all of your knowledge is second-hand, genius. Most things you didn't figure out on your on, someone sat you down and taught them to you. You're not being profound or edgy, you're trying to use willful ignorance to fuel your superiority complex.

Brainlets don't understand that you take short term pain for long term gain. Anything that "hurts" the all-important economy must be stopped. We need our cheap Chinese shit. If we got rid of the minimum wage and removed all environmental standards, the economy would grow exponentially. Why the fuck are these people against it?

The truth is, you either view it as a country with an economy or as an economy that is a country. Jews only care about the economy. There are more important things.

It is if your country has a huge unemployment and drug crisis while your most profitable industries give all their jobs to China for cheap labor and inhumane working conditions.

Frankly, the less business done with China the better since they treat sweatshop workers like less than human. It's morally correct.

The title is misleading you into thinking video games are being specifically targeted instead of Chinese imports because men who play video games lean republican

>a tariff is tax
based high IQ posters in this thread.

None of this matters though. The instant Trump us out the next guy (brown woman) is going to get rid of all these tariffs. Americans will rejoice because their television is a little less expensive today at the small cost of losing their job and massive inflation tomorrow.

No, slavery is unironically what made western civilisation great. Every single great empire was built on free workpower.

>best medium in the world
I like lootboxes, microtransactions, P2W, always-online DRM, Denuvo, unfinished barely working products too.

That's my biggest criticism of Trump. He's set the precedent that whoever is the next elected President will just immediately undo everything the previous one did.

You can't tax slaves. Things that cannot be taxed are irrelevant.

Obama already did that to Bush

You'll still have to live with it until 2024.
Why do you even care? it's not like Yea Forums pays for vidya.

>the small cost of losing their job
Tariffs haven't done shit to bolster the job market, you dingus.

The entire point of tariffs is to pressure other nations into more favorable trade deals, ie. having the chinks manufacture shit for even less.

Technically you can but they wouldn't have much you could take

>you can’t tax property

I contemplated making that joke as well.

Anons small question.
Why don't we have slavery for criminals? Like if someone does a crime they become a slave to the state. Right now we are paying for their food and hospitality which takes money away from American workers. With slave labor we can get rid of immigrants and we can put less money in prisons and immigration and more into american people.
If this happens just remake prisons into mental health facility's to help with mental health issues.
Slave labor would make a shitload of money and solve a good amount of issues we have today.

Eggsplain
This isn't about more expensive video games. Governments who can't accomplish anything because the next public official will just undo everything leads to instability and collapse

I saw those idiots re-elect Bush. You can't with certainty tell me it's not happening.

We do. Penal labor is a thing.

For crimes where there is no question of guilt like rape and murder not in self defense I wholeheartedly support this

>hurr durr better black out those Reddit names

It's a hard choice.

The Senate gives equal representation to all 50 states in its legislative body. 2 votes each. This is to protect lesser populated states and give them an equal voice in government. America isn't one unified state. It's a federal union made up of 50 individual states and numerous incorporated territories.

Literally the only thing separating hardline Islam and your average /pol/-poster's ideology is the accent it's spoken in.

Absolutely not. Prisoners can always be released. You can't undo death.

The quip is that Luxembourg has a generally low tax rate on many things, it having the lowest VAT as well in all of europe is just another amusement.

Hungary has 31% flat tax, mate.

That's the problem, if a company wants to have access to the chinese market they are required to have an office/manufacturing plant or act in tandem with a chinese company, it's not about just cheap labour to sell cheaply to the US, it's also to have access to his huge emerging market that will probably become the biggest in the world. If the US wants these companies out of China they have to target the companies themselves, targetting China won't have much effect

It's relevant for deporting illegals and punishing states that harbor illegals.

But the difference is minimal. Look, let's say you jump through all the hoops, check with your legal staff and ultimately end up taking a risk with offshore accounts, and what do you get? A very slight decrease in taxes? To even notice the results you'd already need to have more money than you could ever hope to spend in a lifetime. It's disgusting.

Sales tax is a thing in U.S, yes. And some Dems are pushing for health taxes on soda, for example.

So nothing that the census was intended for then? Yeah exactly. If it reaches the SCOTUS it shouldn't stand but if it does that just shows the last two SC appointments were not correct and the Dems need to appoint 2-4 more to make up for them.

Wait what's wrong with taxing soda? Diabeetus is the new plague. Video games (exception: Tibia) don't kill people.

Yes in the civilized world like... the EU?

user why are you reading so much into this? I just want to talk shit on Luxembourg.

I can't get a fucking head in this world. This isn't just going to increase the price of video games but damn near everything being manufactured in China.

>Census is a tool, tools can have multiple purposes
The census was established in the Constitution for one purpose, to count the number of people in each state so Reps can be allocated correctly. No part of the Constitution specifies only citizens are counted in the Census and in fact history would show that there were people living in those times that were not considered citizens but were counted (ie slaves). The Census' wording is not accidental it was no doubt fully intentional therefore any attempt at putting something like a citizenship question in the Census which could very well dissuade non-citizens from participating should be unconstitutional in any sane Court.

user the slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person and that idea came from the "abolitionist" north. The only reason the south wanted their slaves counted was so that they could game the system to get more representatives despite slaves legally not being considered people. That's literally what states like California are concerned about. They want their under-the-table workers counted so they can inflate the amount of funding and representatives they receive. We have a huge immigration crises going on in this country. The system is completely broken, courts are backed up for 5 years or more, facilities are overcrowded and filthy, 100,000 people illegally cross every month, it's time to do something about it.

You're an idiot, tariffs hit the poor and middle class disproportionately because shit being more expensive matters less to people who have a shitload of money.

If Trump passed legislature to tax the wealthy libs would praise him because that's a liberal policy. It would definitely be backhanded shit like "oh wow trump did something right for once" but they wouldn't hate a good policy because of the man who made it.

Do you believe importing millions upon millions of homeless scabs who work under the table will fix this?

I WANT to help you, but insulting people has NEVER worked.

Do you think ANY of us would have a problem taxing Google/Facebook/Disney at 80%?

These same redditors support Bernie wanting to raise taxes massively, but get angry at Trump because PS4 might cost $50 more

Fucking idiots, you are lucky Trump doesn't go full European Union & slap a 25% tax on everything

This is why the working class votes against their economic interests. Because the party of the working class think it's a fact that their problems aren't real

If I become a millionaire I encourage them to tax the piss out of me, I will be fine. I make it now on 30K a year and live comfortably.

I doubt this considering Trump has made great efforts to strengthen relations with Japan as of late.

If the Court ignores Constitution then it will just add fuel to the already growing call to pack the Court. When FDR was considering it his own base was against the idea but right now the base is the one for the idea and the politicians are the ones hesitating.

Not to mention McConnell personally packed the court himself for like a year. The precedent has been set.

uh, excuse me? Rethuglicans are the people that don't trust the government to properly redistribute capital to the needy, so I must reiterate that the workers party is WINNING right now.

Mate, VAT is a consumption tax. You can't avoid it.

The benefit of avoiding income taxes might save you quite a lot in higher income brackets though, since in Western Europe the highest tax rates tend to be 45-55%. Being able to get income at that rate ignored by tax authorities is quite lucrative.

A graduated income tax like leftists are suggesting taxes rich people at a higher rate than poor people (up to 70%), this tax disproportionately affects the rich (because they have more money and being taxed at higher rates affects them less, do you follow?) and the money they comes from the wealthy can be put into projects that help the poor because they have less. It will increase their quality of life. When you have more you should contribute more.

That's a complete fabrication if not a lie. There was no vacancy on the Court at the time and Joe Biden wasn't even talking about blocking a nomination in the first place. Joe Biden's comment was a hypothetical, he wanted any appointment to happen after the election so people wouldn't turn it into a political issue. He fully intended to allow an appointment if one came up but preferred that it happen after the election.

The funniest part about this post is that you actually believe it. If you become a millionaire overnight, yeah sure, you won't mind, but if you earn that money legit, you would be singing a different tune. You are mentally poor, and as such will never have enough money for that to ever matter, dumb luck aside.
I can't find it right now, but semi-related, you're exactly at the point where happiness and money earned cease to correlate. It was at least 10 years ago, so my information is out of date, but a while back they did a study on money earned vs. happiness I have no idea how they calculated happiness, but it showed that when you are less than 30,000 a year you are stressed out, because of how hard it is to live. The closer you are to 30k the less stressed you are. After that though, you are comfortable, but happiness doesn't increase equally.
Food for thought. I think you're full of shit about your willingness to give a shit about being taxed if you had more money, but you probably believe your own shit, and I can't blame you. You are however living right where you should want to be, and are doing just fine.

>Tax people not products
That's a fucking terrible way of taxing things. You don't tax the farmer specifically raising the chickens and wheat but you set the tax rate on the wheat and chickens themselves so a farmer that is raising cows and horses faces a different set of taxes and if the farmer(s) don't manage to make a profit on the products then they're not hit with double duty just simply for being a farmer. There's a reason why during the Gold Rush that there was a tax on the Gold and not the miners themselves.

Spaniard here. Reintegration doesn't work.

I woudln't be 100% sure of that. Biden has name recognition going for him but he doesn't inspire people like some of the other candidates. He's pretty much expanded his base as far as it will go already and only stands to lose overall as the election drags on and the bases of other candidates continue to grow. If the election were held today he'd probably win by a narrow margin over Bernie but there's still a long way to go.

Why are you biting the hand that feeds?

>except a lot of money doesn't go towards that.

It doesn't happen because it's impossible. The government can try to raise tax rates as much as they want but they still end up collecting the same amount of taxes. Even when they had insanely high taxes on the rich, they didn't pay them.

Anyways, plenty of taxes inflicted upon the population by democrats are regressive and hurt the poor the most. Sales tax is a prime example.

Also, if you subtract government spending on individuals, most of the population actually is a net tax recipient, not a net tax payer. The rich are therefore the only people that pay taxes on net.

> No nation could actually get away wtih being "lazy".
Yeah, I am not trying to imply that. Rather that thanks to U.S having relatively low marginal taxation for high earners, and Europe having relatively low, for highly educated and highly effective work force hikes in top tax brackets defers working to some extend. Less so in US - but increased marginal tax would, to some extend, reduce work hours of the high earners based on empirical evidence.

Relatively few people here in Europe work over fifty hours a week compared to US. And part of that comes down to taxation reducing the incentives of such.

Laugh it up while you can, a lot of people of all colors, creeds, and ideologies are pissed off with the state of our country and the government has been severely ineffective for years now. It's gonna be like the 60s all over again

>The country won't let you elect anyone but a moderate.
Trump disproves that himself. America's election system doesn't prioritize moderates it prioritizes highly polarized figures. Polarizing figures may drive turnout down but as long as the bases remain firmly in control then the one that is bigger wins.

Liberals love Biden.

Are the Americas stacked enough with available resources to have the IT firms come back?
Like lets say the US, Canada and Mexico spread out the factories and supply materials and resources and produce affordable computers?

Shit. This move by Trump really shows how the tech industry has backed itself into a corner by essentially giving China the production monopoly for almost 2 decades now. All those factories can't be scuttled and shipped out because the CCP will aggressively punish those who try for sure. I recall the fire at the Google office in China and how Google announced they were leaving that place, a while back.
I'm kind of torn, happy that Trump's making the tech firms face their weaknesses and show clearly the lack of exit strategies, but feel the uncertainty on what might happen next, especially now that China has shown their true face to the world, and they're pretty evil.

liberal here, Biden's got my vote, fuck Bernie and fuck Warren.

Maybe I've just got good memory or all of you are 10 year olds.

Leading this far ahead of the actual primaries doesn't mean much especially when it's mostly based on name recognition among older voters, at this point in 2015 Trump was no where near the top of anyone's list, he was the joke canidate and we all remember what happened after that

>Zion Don gets BLACKED!

You're right. President Sanders does have a lot of pull in American politics. Oh, wait...

Thank God, the green New deal is lunacy.

That's already happening. Prisoners already pay for their own food though, the only reason we pays so much to house them is because of lobbyists from the private prison industry. In the state of Florida, the government pays $150/day for an inmate, $250/day for federal inmates. Most Americans don't even make that much in a day.

It ain't that simple.

Clinton was among the most Liberal among Democratic senators, and still got shafted as being too moderate.
Romney and McCain were moderate Reps who went to lose against Obama.
Bush Older was a moderate Rep, beaten by a moderate dem.
John Kerry and Al Gore were relatively liberal, but Bush Jr. was middle of the party candidate rather than a moderate.

Generally speaking, moderate Democrats have fared better (Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama) than the more liberal ones (Humphrey, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry). But in general, Democrats have struggled in the presidential races after Johnson, only winning five times to GOPs eight.

You should be 100% for that tax. Unless you're a fatty yourself, in which case you don't matter anyway so nobody cares about your opinion.

And China's refusal to sell rare earth will make electronics prices rise 10 times. If you want to upgrade your PC, do it NOW, before it's too late, and buy the highest end parts you can find for future proofing.

Trump is literally riding the wave of good shit that Obama did and pretending he did it. Then when the effects of his fuckups arrive in full force and there's another Democrat POTUS, you retards cry again that it's his fault.
Happens every time.

I think Bill Clinton is pretty liberal, but he campaigned off of being a moderate. He wanted people in the military to be allowed to be openly gay and proposed nationalized healthcare, but quickly abandoned them when he got a lot of criticism for them. He might be rather dishonest in what he believes and I don't think I personally would have ever had voted for him, but I think that he's one of the greatest political strategists to ever become president, if not the greatest.

Youre talking out of both sides of your mouth, just like most of the left

>dementia daddy does another retarded thing
shocker

Exactly, so there’s no good reason to support any tariff or tax increase while Trump is president. I’m a liberal, but I don’t blindly hate everything Trump does. I would support a tariff or tax increase if he increased budgets for important federal agencies. But he’s doing the opposite and sending the money to Israel instead, so I oppose it.

>Trump is literally riding the wave of good shit that Obama did and pretending he did it.
Dumb liberals actually believe this.
>hen when the effects of his fuckups arrive in full force and there's another Democrat POTUS, you retards cry again that it's his fault.

More like the opposite is true.

>What radical policies has he implemented. More or less none.
It's difficult to point to radical policies he's *successfully* implemented because his ideas tend to fail even within his own party.

Has repeatedly discounted the idea of Climate Change. Suggested it was a Chinese hoax and pulled us out of an international agreement for it even though participation was voluntary in the first place.

Doesn't even support research for alternative sources of energy like wind and solar, would rather prop up dying industries like the coal industry instead.

He tried to use eminent domain to steal land from Native Americans to build an oil pipeline for a private Canadian Company. Still being worked out in the courts I think.

Has tried to revoke access to public lands and sell it piecemeal to land developers, logging and oil companies.

Claimed he wanted to leave NATO before everyone told him it was a terrible idea.

Tried to implement a Muslim ban and was blocked by the Federal Courts.

Has repeatedly tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act and was blocked by his own party. Has since tried to sabotage it by severely cutting its advertising budget and removing the penalties for non-participation.

Started detaining immigrant children at the border and separating them from their families for no apparent reason.

Implemented tariffs on good like Canadian steel and aluminum for no apparent reason over what he alleged were security concerns that no one seems to be able to figure out.

You're literally retarded user.

>Trump disproves that himself.
Trump actually is a moderate.

This. The economy had been steadily increasing since 2013, but suddenly Trump gets all the credit for fixing the economy.

I really don't think President Obama is responsible for how good the economy is this year. President Trump also has lowered actual unemployment rate by a lot. What I mean is that the Obama Administration defined the unemployment rate of consisting of adults not wishing to be unemployed but are. So if one was unemployed and on welfare and wasn't trying to change this, he would not be counted as unemployed, hence why the statistics show that the Obama Administration had lower unemployment rates.

>unifying 99.93% of the population and land mass is less unified than the USA where millions of its inhabitants don't even have full citizen rights because they are living in "territories"

You lefties are the minority not only in the US but even in the democrat party. This country doesn't want or need a sanders type socialist.

Your perception is based entirely on lies and you don't know what you're talking about.

>N-No U

Nice

By that narrow definition Dick Cheney is a lefty and that's just laughably absurd.

Because this is about Chinas bad trade policies.

The climate change hoax is real.
Third world countries that haven't entered industrialization will pay tariffs to the big boys, but China is exempt until sometime at the 2030s. Think about it. Who is the biggest polluter? Japs and Koreans often have their weather reports telling about the massive pollution clouds from the west of their location.

The only reason you'd want to tax the undeveloped is to keep them from ascending and become perpetually dependent on the powers that be. And since Trump pulled out, its a clear message to the world that its not the US who's doing this bullshit.

Political shifts in the 60s and 70s hurt Democrats. Southern states used to consistently vote Democrat, but now they consistently vote Republican.

Commies Commies Commies Commies Commies Liberal Moderate

Yeah brah fuck poor people lmao

Idiot, the rich are alraedy taxes the most. The poor in this country literally pay no income taxes.

literally nothing of this is a radical position in american politics except for NATO leave

Climate change denial is a Russian disinfo tactic, you gullible idiot.

Environmental destruction is a serious issue. But all the proposed "solutions" are just going to push the problems overseas where they are much worse. nationalpost.com/news/world/scientists-discover-china-has-been-secretly-emitting-banned-ozone-depleting-gas/amp

Its obvious so called environment activists here in the states dont give a fuck about the environment because they always lobby against nuclear which is the only viable primary load alternative energy.

On top of that the "green new deal" specifically is just a racial re-distributist fantasy masquerading as an environmentalist package.

Excellent rebuttal. Have any examples?

>Trump is a paper tiger when he's mass deporting illegal immigrants, took the government to a shutdown to fulfill his main campaign promise, and declared a trade war on the PRC

Umm that's the whole point. It will weaken the benefits of doing business in china. This is the whole point.

Get a fucking grip user. Do some actual research instead of looking at YT videos. Read some papers, and when you've digested some material, and only then, open your mouth again to talk about the subject.

Russians not believing in climate change has allowed them to weather countless sanctions. So the US can also weather the incoming storm by being stubborn. Don't hamper your chances tomorrow by walking into the enemy's mine field.

It's over, this time Drumpf is finished for sure!

>cognitive dissonance
I love it when lefties talk about this. It's pretty ironic.

That’s not the only political issue in existence. Economic policies are probably more indicative of party affiliation than social policies.
That being said, Biden is definitely left of center, but he’s very close to the center.

What America needs ASAP is social democracy. Keep the protectionism but also tax rich people, nuke all the fiscal paradises like Panama.

aww those poor criminals, they dindu nuffin.

Those are all false equivalences. But all of them have one thing in common. They were only recent social media trends under the cult of science. Not real science, more like I fucking love science science.
Do I care if someone doesn't take their injections? Nope. Same with the fools who think the earth is flat or that the moon landings was a Stanley Kubrick movie project. But the moon landing thing is at least interesting, you have to admit.

You're absolutely fucking braindead if you think there's sanctions for not adhering to the Paris Accord. It was a symbolic and voluntary deal where countries show they care and will do their best to combat climate change. There are no sanctions involved you fucking brainlet.

This is also a good point. From what I've observed, the old Democrats were about states rights (a lot of that was about segregation) and gibsmedats. I think it was Reagan that really made the Republican party based strongly on Christian values. So all the Southerners had to choose if they wanted the Christian values more or the gibsmedats more, and the white Southerners largely went with the Christian values, while the black Southerners largely went with the gibsmedats now that the Democrats were no longer about segregation.

because of facts actually.

>Its obvious so called environment activists here in the states dont give a fuck about the environment because they always lobby against nuclear which is the only viable primary load alternative energy.
As a fairly staunch environmentalist, this pisses me off immensely. I do think that wind and solar are better than nuclear because they don’t produce any waste products, but I don’t know why every other environmentalist vehemently opposes nuclear so much when it’s the next best option.

It doesn't though. America's trade balance with China has continued to grow since Trump took office in 2016.
