The  Germans and the rest of the EU can go (do to themselves what I can't say here).

They don't make the rules for Americans, and we shouldn't listen to or be governed by them... AT ALL.

If the new tax laws have the result of cash and industries moving from Germany and the rest of Western Europe to "back here", why... that's fine with me. And I may go so far as to speculate that it's fine with many other (most?) Americans, as well.

To paraphrase Lt. Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall):
"I love the smell of the Euro-weenies complaining in the morning!
Smells like... MAGA!"

Is that kind of like this?

I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.

No!  Nothing at all like that!   But you already know that.

It's a fair question if we're 'fighting fire with fire' as you said.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Does adopting guerrilla tactics in order to defeat Communist guerrillas make you a Communist guerrilla?

The real question is, can you adopt socialist economic methods and be conservative?

Hey what is that sound I hear?   Must be a giant sucking sound we are hearing.  Bring jobs back to the USA.

Why don’t you read up on the issues so you can ask intelligent questions.  Take a few minutes time away from worshipping Lord Trump.

Tax Treaties, rank LOWER on the scale of the Rule of Law than the Constitution.

And the Constitution was never intended to be a Suicide Pact.

So the concept of 'Tax Treaties' superseding America's Strength and Prosperity in order to make the entire Planet a truly safer place, . . can Kiss My Azz!

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

OR, they could Buy A Clue and lower their own tax rates, SHRINK THEIR OWN SOCIALIST Governments, put Their people back to work to Pay for their Own Defense instead of letting us continue to keep them safe from the Russians like we've Been doing since 1945.

Freedom is infectious stuff, real contagious. Us leading by example is great way to infect the whole world with it.

The EU won't have any choice but to lower their own rates. Currencies are going to fluctuate. Lots 'a ripples coming.

Bammy care was sold as 'The Europeans do it? Why are we so backward? Why can't we do it too, provide free healthcare? It's a 'Right'.

The European Socialists provide it on Our Dime.

We assumed their Defense Budgets and they pissed it away on social giveaways.

I have no sympathies for the Germans in this case. If Trump signs this then good for Trump.

"It is a maxim, founded on the universal experience of mankind, that no nation is to be trusted farther than it is bound by its interest; and no prudent statesman or politician will venture to depart from it." - Letter to Henry Laurens, November 14, 1778
George Washington

"Nations do not have friends. Nations have interests."
Winston Churchill


Merkel wants to sacrifice her own country on the altar of Global Warming, and give Trump S##t for not being as stupid as she is.
