>Investor Kevin O’Leary says critics of Trump’s tariff policy are disingenuous or heavily misled. In a recent post, O’Leary explained that countries like Italy, Canada, England, and others slap a 13–15% VAT (value-added tax) on American products—essentially a mafia style shakedown, where the undeserved get richer.

>“I’m an investor… The Europeans have been stealing and swindling us for 40 years at the expense of hard working Americans, and you’re unhappy that we’re doing the same thing to them? I don’t think so.”

>"These undeserved, and frankly shameless grifters are like a blood-sucking mosquito. They take what they can get, and instead of malaria, you get socialism and permanent poverty in exchange ... time to break out the bug spray and deal with them for good."

Looks like it is time for europe to take a seat and listen to the people who are in charge.

Why does he keep getting more based every passing moment? Fuck Europe.

Yawn, next thread.

>Canadian man rants about how terrible his own country's taxes are, only enriching corrupt bureaucrats while everyone gets left behind
>Says the US should do the same thing
What did he mean by this?

No actually it's spent on citizens.
America wants to do the same and give the money to Trump and Elon. In order to get approval to do this, they need enemies. Europe will be painted as the bad guy for doing the same thing as every country in the world, and America will copy it "in order to get revenge".

It's so retarded that americans fall for this propaganda. It's the same every fucking time.
1. spend months talking about imaginary enemy to build up a strong feeeling
2. take money from citizens to fight imaginary enemy with manufactured consent
rinse repeat.

>>60745585
They manufactured your consent to tax yourself. A tax on yourself where you get nothing in return because that's socialism. You get socialism taxes and capitalism welfare. Nothing.
It would be funny if it wasn't so sad for the people in your country who aren't retarded.

>>60745545 (OP)
VAT is on everything even European products... This is a braindead take and O'Leary himself knows that it's disingenuous.

>>60745725
you know he is right
>>60745748
and the tariffs are such in return, a consumer tax.

>>60745757
>you know he is right
He is wrong about literally everything. He is playing on your feelings to get you to feel good about a dildo up your ass without getting paid for it.

>>60745757
Tariffs are on imports. VAT is on everything including domestic goods.

You are a sub 40 IQ moron. America can make their own federal consumption tax if they want. Nobody is stopping them.

>>60745762
let me break it down for you retard. In the United States, most of the country does not rely on mediocre European cheeses, luxury goods that are really manufactured in China, and above all nobody thinks about BMW when they talk about a reliable daily driven car.

9 out of 10 consumers domestically do not rely on any goods from you. We buy our own domestic products, and if some sub human really wants to afford an E40 BMW they can also afford the extra taxes that come with it. T-Mobile? Forget about it.

Americans wear Levi's, they eat kraft cheese singles, drive a Honda Accord that was manufactured in Ohio, and most definitely consume American entertainment.

Take a good look at pic rel. Because when you guys officially go zero to zero on the tariff policies, this is what you are going to be buying from now on. It'll be a good thing, because an obese Europe is a docile and controlled Europe.

>>60745783
We really don't care that much about the tariffs.
It's going to shrink some of our industries and unwillingly strengthen our ties to asia.
It's a lose lose situation for America, do whatever you want nobody is stopping you.

>europoors are taxing themselves into poverty so we'll do the same

>>60745796
Its always in europe's blood to side with fascist and socialist dictatorships.

>>60745806
It seems more like it's in america's blood to attack all their allies except israel.

>>60745811
I forget, where is the ashkenazi region again?

>>60745816
I forgot what those jews have to do with Israel controlling America and Trump putting Israel first.

>>60745822
Maybe pull up a map and list the heritage of those israelis, the ones youre talking about definitely don't hail from the sephardic region.

>>60745830
Jews pointing at other jews while picking your pocket. They really got you good, unless you're just a part of JIDF.

>>60745835
Must be really fun letting greece scam your government in free gibs.

>>60745854
Some greek farmers scammed some pennies and got fined for it.
Let's see, how much has America given Israel in gibs: Oh, 310 billion dollars.

Anyways you're clearly a member of the JIDF and a paid propagandist to turn USA against Europe and Canada to distract from Israel's conduct in dismantling America and funneling the money to their own private and government pockets so I'm gonna jump out of this conversation.

>>60745864
Europeans with a lack of accountability. Maybe stop importing billions of euros in Russian LNGs, while we send hundreds of billions in United states dollars to ukraine and then you might have a point. Until then you can keep clutching your pearls.

>>60745881
Alright you have a point there, I am reasonable enough to give you that one.
It was fucking retarded to phase out any energy production out before an alternative was in place and I feel like everyone knew it.

>>60745895
90% of greenland is empty and inhabitable. You guys could stick enough wind funnels from the arctic wind in order to be fully self sufficient. Basically the size of new jersey is all that's needed and it wouldnt be an eyesore to look at like windmill farms.

I dunno about Europe but in the UK we've got VAT on fucking everything. It isn't like it's exclusively on American products.

>>60747574
You are in Europe, gammon

>>60747999
We're not in the EU, shit-eating faggot.

>taxed to death

>government openly and brazenly laughs at native children getting raped my mudhordes
You might as well be

>>60748322
Checked and since you brexited, your country really went downhill worse than I could have imagined. Worse than the EU even.

>>60748422
It made literally no difference apart from the politicians lost access to their grift.
Everyone in the West is circling the drain economically and other European countries are no better.

Glass houses, Pedro.

Europoors are already docile and controlled by their unelected woman bureaucracy.
