Appears "copy and paste" now wants open trade with China, his Messiah would be very disappointed in him
What makes you think those nations that are supposedly the victims of those protective restrictions hasn't also suffered a slow down in production due to Covid as the rest of the world has in the last two and half years? And specifically tell us what is that "profligate government spending," and try not to use some lengthy copy and paste articles from some right leaning source that you haven't the slightest clue what they are talking about
She's an idiot. You are an idiot. The US government spends a billion dollars about every two and a half hours. That's obscene. That Warren wants to confiscate the profits of a corporation that's barely making a return on what they sell is obscene. Even if she confiscated their entire profits, barely funds the government's fraud, waste, and abuse for 5 hours...

So big company = big profits
So your attempt to focus on the margins instead was a deliberate sophist choice you made, because it would be easier to get an emotional reaction out of people by pretending Warren wants to get blood from a stone, instead of blood from an engorged deer tick.

No, you're a liar and you're a bootlicker.
You obscure facts and hold back exculpatory information because you don't debate -or do anything, for that matter- in good faith.
It's easier for you to grift simpletons by pretending you're smart enough to know about margins, hoping they don't ask the follow up question of "well, how much money are they actually making in profit?"
You left that information out because it becomes much harder to defend $2B in profit ($1B of which was used for stock buybacks and $20M for CEO compensation in 2021) than it is to defend narrow margins.
You are also lazy and didn't bother to do any research into Kroger and how they used more than half of their "Oh woe is me narrow margins" to do $1B in stock buybacks and hand the CEO $20M annual compensation.
Did you know Kroger did that? I bet you didn't.
You don't seem to know much of anything, but that doesn't stop you from running your big, fat mouth anyway.

Yeah, but the US government is about $4T in size, so...what does that have to do with Kroger?
Profits you held out of your post because they are in the billions, half of which was used to buy back stock, and $20M of which was used for CEO compensation just last year.That Warren wants to confiscate the profits of a corporation
But tell us again how narrow Kroger's margins are...but take your lips off the boot first.
Well, good thing she's not after their entire profits, so you don't need to soil your diaper.Even if she confiscated their entire profits, barely funds the government's fraud, waste, and abuse for 5 hours...
If the company makes $2B a year and spends half of it buying back stock and giving a bonus to the CEO, while that same company's employees make so little they qualify for government benefits, then maybe that business shouldn't exist at all or maybe it should get taxed so much so that it pays for the welfare its employees need.

So she would tax profits AFTER taxing revenue? Let’s look at this and see if I’m on the same page.Wrong. It's completely relevant because Warren is talking about taxing profits, not taxing revenues or margins.
Revenue(defined as total income from a particular source)is taxed at a corporate rate after all deductible expenses.
What’s left after that is “profit”, right? Where do you think that profit goes? Well, yes, it gets divided up between the owners(aka the board members AND the stock holders)
After it’s divided up, it becomes “revenue” for those people and is taxed as income for them. So you think the government should add ANOTHER layer of taxation to that? In other words, tax the total revenue of the corporation, then tax the profit that’s left after the corporate tax is paid, distribute what’s left of that to the board of directors and the stockholders, which will in turn be taxed as income for them. Do i have the picture now?
Did you know that warren still wants a wealth tax? Yeah, that means that these ultra millionaires would pay an additional tax on their accumulated wealth every year. THAT MEANS A TAX ON CASH AND ASSETS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAXED YEARS BEFORE AS INCOME!
When does it end with you vultures?
You and your ignorant ilk are not the arbiters of obscenity in fiduciary matters. You can’t make decisions because you have no understanding of finance and I suspect that you hate money in general or maybe just the people that have it.$1B in profit is obscene...and they make double that.
