Delta Skirts Trump Tariffs by Sending Airbus Jets on World Tour

Volvo and other carmakers have used this rule (no tariffs on used vehicles) for years. You buy the car at your local dealer and Volvo gives you round trip airfare to Sweden, where you pick up your car, drive it around for a week (or more), and then drop it at the port to be shipped home. Heck, they even put you up in a hotel the first night. The car price is generally less expensive than if you took one off the lot.

You can't fix government stupidity.

Not even DJT!

Exactly. Many Americans are ignorant of the fact that the Europeans, our supposed allies, have had tariffs on many of our exports for decades, while we allowed them to export many of their products to us tariff-free. There are also the egregious barriers to entry that Europe uses to protect its domestic industries. Why should the U.S. not be allowed to reciprocate? Tariffs are the only way, short of physical force, to encourage other countries to play fair and play by the rules. The middle-class in the U.S. started to wake up to the fact that we've been getting ripped off on trade by China and other countries for many years, which has hurt our industries and especially blue-collar workers. I guess a lot of people went back to sleep.

It is pretty standard for used items to be exempt from tariffs. Why? because generally tariffs are charged to the entity in the import business and not to the owner of the item. The "waiting period" for an item to become "used" varies, presumably based on when the market for the item would consider it used - this to prevent someone from becoming an importer of "used" new items to avoid the tariffs. For cars it's a relatively short time but for planes it's longer (airlines don't really care if someone else owned the plane for a week)

If we had an honest media the political response by the people of this nation would change drastically.

FWIW, I despise 45.
But how about we keep the current politics out of FA?

You think they left doesn't want the tax receipts?

He was trying to equalize trade and put more business in US hands. You have a problem with that?

Oh please do, better my chances of an upgrade.

You are aware, there is no requirement for a political candidate to disclose tax returns? There's a very specific federal statute to that effect. And, to also address the effort by House Democraps to obtain his returns, there was once an opinion written by deputy attorney general named John Haron. He was appointed by Jimmy Carter.

Finally, there is the issue of California passing a law to demand tax returns of political candidates. That won't fly, either, by the time it gets to the USSC and should be stopped at the Ninth Circus Appeals bench. A certain judge once opined on the sanctity of privacy of tax returns when she sat on the DC appeals bench. Her name... Ruth Ginsberg.

Oh, and there is no demand one pay more in taxes than is legally required by the written code. And, anyone who does is a fool.
