    Meaning a tax hike can’t just be passed off on the consumers.

    Stick to the topic: Mr. Trump is not claiming to be a socialist and profiting from capitalism like the estimable Mdme. Congresswoman, the junior representative from New York. You know, the same one who told Amazon to go pound sand when they wanted to create 100,000 jobs in her district...

    It can to a point if you understand the principle of economic elasticity.

    Oh please. She says "capitalism is irredeemable," and here she is being a capitalist. I assume she expects to profit from her venture.

    Raising money for reelection isn’t capitalism.

    You gonna try to sell me some land in Florida next?

    Of course it's capitalism. It's private enterprise designed to make a profit. It is the precise definition of capitalism. Where the profits go is immaterial.

    And then immediately stated that she doesn't mean that capitalism should be completely abolished, just that unrestricted capitalism is a bad thing. Go read what she said for yourself.

    By all means, you can criticize her poor wording, but it would be dishonest to suggest that she was advocating the abolition of capitalism.

    Given her history, why he is charging for it? She should be given them out for free.

    Can you use food stamps or other welfare handout benefits to buy one of these sweatshirts?!

    If not, sales may, uh, lag just a bit.... :spin:

    What, her 185K salary is not enough? I'm sure she can peddle some influence to make up any shortage for her lavish wardrobe.

    For not even making a few billion dollars profits in the last 20 YEARS???

    His lying is magnificent. Everything else he does is theft and lies.

    Trump is more of a socialist than AOC ever will be. Its just Trump's idea of socialism is how much of the country's can he stuff in is own pocket without exchanging anything to anyone else in a business.

    I heard that 100% of the value of the sweatshirts is going to the workers.

    Just kidding. They are probably in sweatshops in Los Angeles. The website says that it's a "campaign contribution", so, basically, paying for her to keep her job. If that's not profiting from exploitation, what is?

    The unemployment is going steadily down every month and the economy is recovering very good job wise. We also had record gdp and job figures which means a strong fast recovery. The states shutting down is what hurt the economy.

    Everything bad is not orange man's fault just because you hate him

    So, then, you are against helping the environment? The sweatshirts are petroleum based. The more she sells, the less green it is. Progressives, like their conservative counterparts, are absolute hypocrites. All that matters is winning, like in a football game.

    disagree progressives are commies who participate in capitalism, conservatives are capitalists who participate in communism.

    saving the environment is communist
