Big Government Love's Tariffs

The Communist are getting higher tariffs on average.

China: 30%
Vietnam: 20–40%
Laos: 40%
Myanmar: 40%

— Relative to Japan and South Korea.

There’s something many people don’t understand — including Elon.

Absolute centralization is big government like the communist. You cannot be a political centrist but a fiscal hawk. That logic simply doesn’t hold.

The bigger government becomes relative to GDP, the smaller you become — unless you're one of the few allowed to grow through government favor, like Elon or Jack Ma.

One of the most effective ways for these governments to expand is through trade tariffs.

Have you noticed how trade deals and those "big, beautiful bills" are being rolled out simultaneously?

It’s because one enables another.
