This is all just because we are afraid of the T word. A uniform tariff and matching currency export control achieves the same effect, and doesn't impose US hegemony on the rest of the wrold.
- PEJOE 5y agoSure, but both of those will have other, potentially unwanted consequences. Besides, this isn't just "US hegemony," most of the EU wants this as well (except Ireland), as they want to tax the local profits of multinational tech.
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoSo instead of actually fixing the problem - we should just hope that our government arbitrarily applies Tariffs to the right companies in the right amounts? Certainly that won't ever be abused to screw over one company and benefit another for political purposes, right? And, seemingly, a tax authority (the IRS) would be better equipped to calculate these amounts anyway.
- dnautics 5y ago> arbitrarily applies Tariffs Nope. A blanket tariff that applies to everything equally.
