Trump Is Reality TV, Mueller Is The Wire

We already have one resident yahoo pretty excited about the prospect of paying for the wall because he's somehow convinced that mexico will reimburse him later.

True. But there's some yahoos who are not quite as able to wrap their minds around complex economic issues they're being lied to about. All they heard was 'mexico's going to pay' as if that means Mexico writes the US a big fat check for $30b. To them, 'pay thru trade' is over their heads because they somehow can't see $30b suddenly coming out of a tariff on taco sauce (or 'remittances' lol like that's going to come to $30b, assuming it can even be enforced or w/e).

'remittances' lol like that's going to come to $30b,

$29 billion in 2017. Ruh Roh!

The gov't has the power to levy taxes. What are you missing?

So they basically intercept any money leaving the country and put it in a big jar called 'wall fund, paid for by Mexicans living in the US?'.

You really live on fancy street don't you?

Let me explain this to you slowly...

A mexican person, or mexican company makes money in America. The earnings get sent back to Mexico via wire transfer.

It would be trivially easy for the government to levy a tax on wire transfers going to mexico.

That means money that would have otherwise gone to the Mexican economy, now stays in America.

Then they put it in a big jar called "wall fund"

How much are you going to tax it? And why do you think the Mexican won't just wait until Trump is no longer president and someone sane takes over and revokes the law? And then what if the Mexican can't wait so just drives the money over the border himself to his family once every six months.

You're foolproof plan is only going to convince fools.

Alot

Workers and businesses are just going to sit on their money until it's safe to move??? You don't see the flaw in this plan? You think Pence will revoke the tax? If that money stays in the American economy instead of the Mexican, then that's a win.

$29 Billion dollars?

Gimme a number. I know numbers are hard for you so I'll make it multiple choice: 10%, 25%, 50%?

Lol when Pence is president...

$29 Billion dollars?

Every Mexican has $29 billion dollars that he sends back to Mexico? You're right it would hard to fit that in a car. Probably not impossible though.
