Kevin o'leary sounds really stupid there.  Have you given up trying to defend tariffs yourself that you just now post videos of stupid people doing it?

He's talking about knock offs but tariffs make it worse.

You want to stop knockoffs. Which is a real problem. But you know you are wrong on how. 

Tariffs will cause the Chinese to KNOCK YOU OFF MORE !!! They know your companies are having to pay the tariffs on the legit products. Which makes it easier for their knockoffs to be sold for far far far less on Amazon and anywhere else

Let's do the math. Right now the knockoffs sell for at least 25% less than branded versions. Guess what... a 60 percent tariff on a lower priced knockoff is less than the American company pays on their higher priced, branded product. 

You think there can be  tariff negotiations  to end knockoffs,   That's laughable. You know from watches, there are knockoffs everywhere. The grey market and the knockoff market won't be ended by any tariff negotiation

Even though the soft bellies like to post rocket ships every time the stock market hits a new high the truth is the President has very little to do with that.  As long as the economy is growing the stock market will continue to rise.  Where the president does have the most effect on your bottom line is Tax Policy.  What good are those Amazon and Apple stocks if they want to double or triple the capital gains tax.  Despite all the noise, this should be everyone's number one consideration on who to vote for.  The following are the Tax Policies for each candidate as reported bye The Tax Foundation:

• Tax large private university endowments Yes.
• Consider replacing personal income taxes with increased tariffs Yes
• Exempt tips from income tax Wont affect me
• Exempt Social Security benefits from taxation YES PLEASE 100%
• Impose a universal baseline tariff on all U.S. imports of 10%—20% Strategic, not necessarily universal.
• Impose a 60% tariff on all U.S. imports from China Strategic, not necessarily universal.
• Lower the corporate income tax rate from 21% to 20% This is the way.  This is the way, but wont affect me any longer.
• Lower the corporate income tax rate to 15% for companies that make their products in the U.S. This is the way, but wont affect me any longer.

Best Harris Policy is expanding the premium tax credits.  That needs to be done as the temporary provisions to fix "the cliff" expire this year and I'm not happy Trump hasn't decided to address this.

Best Trump Policies are to make the Tax Cuts permanent that are set to expire in 2026.  This needs to be done first and foremost.  The democrats would like to see these expire and instead give handouts to all the poor people instead of lowering taxes across the board.  That results in increased taxes on the middle class that they promise they won't do, only because they don't have to do anything but let them expire.  Second, I'd like to see no taxes on SS, that would be great.

First question - Me this year and next.  And most of my colleagues eventually, so more than you think.  You probably think no big deal just cash out 900k each year who needs that much all at once anyway.  Let me give you a scenario you probably haven't considered.  Many large successful US companies are employee owned.  Most of those ESOP plans require that you sell all of your privately held company stock when you retire, all at once.  That forces you to take a large capital gains hit whether you like it or not. 

Second question - Sure if you want to work in the service industry.  Knock yourself out.

Capital gains aren't paid yearly when held in stock.  They're paid only when you sell.   

It's 100% timing thing not a president thing, unless they raise the capital gains at the wrong moment. 

Our company is well positioned to make lots of money regardless of who is president or how well the economy does, which is highly independent of the president.  The only thing that affects us that the president does have say in is corporate tax.  That affects our bottom line.  Capital gains tax affects the individual's bottom line when the retire/cash out.

There isn't any such thing as a loophole.  It's either law or it isn't.  I suppose you pay more taxes than you have to just because you don't want to use a tax "loophole"?  See, this is just the kind of low IQ thinking I was talking about.

Back on topic:

Quote

 

During the presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed to be the only candidate with a plan to help working-class people. But when given the opportunity to outline her economic vision, she avoided policy specifics, using red herrings about billionaires and big corporations. She claimed, for example, that the 2017 Trump tax cuts were “tax cuts for billionaires.”

This misleading rhetoric was meant to distract voters from reality — her tax plan would result in tax hikes for most people, whereas Republican tax reform reduced taxes for people of all income groups.

Harris and Democrats still need to answer a fundamental question: Will they allow the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to expire and inflict multitrillion-dollar tax hikes on the middle class?

While anti-billionaire rhetoric may sound good on the campaign trail, the reality is the TCJA changed the individual provisions of the tax code to allow taxpayers of all incomes to keep more of their hard-earned money. Unless Democrats join Republicans in extending these popular provisions, people will face a more than $4 trillion tax hike in 2026, the largest in U.S. history. The middle and working classes, making under $400,000 per year, will be hit hardest.

 

According to the Tax Foundation a single mother of one making $30,000 will pay more than $1,000 in higher taxes. A family of four making a median household income of $75,000 is estimated to face a tax increase of more than $1,500.

“If the 2017 tax cuts are allowed to expire after 2025, about 62% of taxpayers would see their tax bills go up,” said Erica York, senior economist and research director at the Tax Foundation. “That’s because the TCJA provided tax cuts for the vast majority of taxpayers.”

A majority of Americans, 56%, already believe they pay too much in federal income taxes, according to an April 2024 Gallup poll. Meanwhile, only 22% think they receive valuable services in return, as reported by an AP-NORC survey from January 2024.

 

Trump's camp responded to the CNBC report:

“Everything we have to do should be oriented towards one thing: increasing the rate of economic growth of our country, by making these cuts permanent”

So here is some info on the TCJA: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.38.3.3

If the full article doesn't come up the abstract covers the basics but essentially:

Quote

 The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 introduced sweeping changes to individual and corporate taxation. We summarize the major provisions, trace the origins of the Act, and compare it to previous tax changes. We also examine the effects on the government budget, economic activity, and distribution of resources. Based on evidence through 2019, we find that the TCJA clearly raised federal debt and increased after-tax incomes, disproportionately increasing incomes for the most affluent. Its effects on GDP and median wages seem modest at best, although clear counterfactuals are difficult to identify. The impact on investment is less certain, and research is only recently emerging that addresses this question. Empirical analysis of longer-term effects may prove difficult due to the disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020.

Additionally some of the provisions in the bill expired in 2021, some in 2022, some in 2023, some will at the end of 2024, and the whole bill at the end of 2025.

Yes the bill was clearly designed to run through 2 straight Trump terms and there was a hiccup in that.

It should also be noted that even with the bill in place from 2020-2024 that we still had issues with inflation and money and all that- which would seem to indicate towards there being other factors in play which would mean there is some of this that can not be laid at the feet of Biden (or Trump had he been President in 2020-2024)....but let's not go too far down that road.

Twenty-three Nobel Prize-winning economists endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in a joint letter.

The economists said Trump's economic agenda, which includes hardline tariff proposals and a slate of aggressive tax cuts, would "lead to higher prices, larger deficits, and greater inequality."
