Oh, those are just provocations intended to stir up publics and divert their minds. Fake terrorist attacks, kids flying on weather balloons, antrax scare and other things that never happened.

Ever tried to sell a house here lately?
To make the point. Sure, about 55% of foreign cars sold here are built here:
However, one has to subtract from that several positions:
a. Many times the engines, transmissions and submodules are coming in via container ship, from overseas. So the labor in those is foreign labor.
b. A lot of US brand cars are no longer made in the US, engines come from Canada, and so on. All that needs to be subtracted.

Yes, I know. But most of the time it's not worth the hassle. I (and my clients) tend to just order the whole chebang of parts in one fell swoop, from one place, and be done with it. Saving five bucks on a prototype somehow does not justify spending engineering time on it.

You didn't see this coming? What has changed since Grayout Davis?
The value added tax will be the same on the imported car and the domestic car. It'll even the playing field more and making domestic production more profitable. THis argument is one *for* the "fair tax" (NOT the VAT).
There have been some that seem to have kept it together:
But it's very few, and some of them initially make promises like "only running for x terms" and once they got into business as usual chucked those promises. Because promises don't seem to mean much there.

It's kind of tough to live out of state while running a business :-)
Besides, we are quite firmly entrenched in community, church and volunteering out here. Especially my wife, if she left with me that would cause a lot of sadness in some assisted living places around here.
Now you changed the subject. This was about that there'd be a clean shift, exchanging income taxes of workers for a consumption tax, and that such would cause dropping prices accordingly. My point is that it is not revenue-neutral, not by a longshot, and in most cases would not drop prices accordingly. To John Q.Public a so-called "fair tax" and a VAT are the same thing, he simply has to pay 23% more for stuff and will be mighty miffed if he's a retiree.

No one in their right mind would call someone an engineer if they had never worked in that field. BTW, you are a very poor troll.

not.
From what I'd heard, Jimmy Carter never finished the Nuclear engineer course because he had to resign his Naval Commission after six years, to return to his family farm to run the business. The only degree he had was in mathematics.

That was _exactly_ the cause. It was a joint GM/Toyota venture. Toyota refused to unionize.

not.
His bios say that he received a Bachellor of Science at the Naval Academy. They don't say what sort of science. As far as a nuke engineer (from
"Carter completed an introductory course in nuclear reactor power at Union College starting in March 1953."
He did complete training as a diesel sub commander, but never served on a nuke. A hint of that is that he was discharged from the Navy in 1953 and bottle wasn't broken on the Nautilus' snout until 1954. So much for the yellow booties.
Now they are at it again:
I've heard rumors that they got a sweet special deal on equipment sales tax. Maybe they don't have to pay any. A deal which, of course, us little guys do not get :-(
That's the dad of the Crown Victoria, pretty good cars. AFAIK a lot of those were already built in Canada.

The Chinese bought more than 1,000,000 GM cars last year, so some folks are attracted by their design, value proposition, and quality control.

Businesses can be run from just about anywhere.
So it's not about selling your house. ;-)
No, in reality I was trying to bring it back to what it was, the fair tax. I'm not convinced about it and discussions help.
He won't pay income tax or employment (SS) tax and neither will the corporations paying him and selling him his stuff.
*That* is the component I'm not happy about. I don't see anyone addressing it, either.

Most retirees already have houses, furniture, pots and pans, so won't pay a huge amount of sales tax. Basic survival stuff could be exempted. And a lot of retirees have taxable income, which taxes will go away.
No change is going to please everybody.
The nice thing about a sales tax is that you can elect to not buy stuff and not pay the tax.

not.
1953 was the year his dad died, and he left the US Navy, wasn't it?

A lot of people downsize their homes after they retire. That money (capital gains) is currently not taxed but will be under the "fair" tax.
Penalizing those who have played the game according to the rules is not "fair". It's no better than what Obummer is doing to business.
Not under the "Fair Tax". *Everything* is taxed, even homes. AIUI, only new houses have the tax charged, but the cost difference between new and old has to equalize.
