When you save money by buying a "cheap import," do you then burn or bury the savings?

Question

Or do you save and invest it?

oohbother you're really, really stretching, I mean really. The efforts you go to, the twists and turns in your logic, that you go through, to avoid coming to the logical conclusion, simply because you want to come down on the side with which you identify, are amazing.

Let it go.

I can sense the inner struggle in you.

Let it go.

I don't know what it is about the appeal of the imagery of the Left that holds people like this. It's like they've seen black and whites of Robert Kennedy pressing the flesh with voters and they so badly want his politics to have been right that they will argue that gravity pulls you upwards.

But people get hurt - ideas have consequences. Minimum wage laws put people out of work. Tariffs cost more jobs than they save. Tax cuts allow the economy to grow on its own, thus allowing the Fed to focus on inflation, thus keeping prices down, thus raising all our wages.

This is what I mean with my motive question - - - - X gets a raise, Y gets a bigger raise, when we did it the other way X couldn't find a job and Y didn't get a raise, WHY do we try to hide the ball on that by taking the fact that Y's raise was bigger and phrasing it as a "growing income gap" and "rising wage inequality?

Why?

Why do people who pretend to want to help X argue against the policies that have made him better off than he was?

Answer 1

free market,,,

Answer 2

How the heck can you tell what is an import? They're made all over the place no matter who the manufacturer is.
Any savings on a car purchase this year got gobbled up by gas prices, anyway.
So, no to both.

Just try to wipe the lead off before you touch it....

Answer 4
