    First, nine_ender attempted to claim that a cash wire transfer tax could not pay for a wall - I demonstrated it obviously will in this post - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ey-deserve-to-lose.312955/page-2#post-4512758

    Keep in mind that a dozen think-tanks have already pushed a tax on cash wire transfers as an obvious method of paying for the wall while demonstrating the math obviously works. I think you better be prepared to see it implemented if the "wall" is built.

    Although its not going to happen,a tax on cash wire transfers is not Mexico paying for the wall.

    Well -- effectively it is in my opinion.... and the opinion of the majority of Americans.

    Putting a tax on services from within The United States is not Mexico paying for a wall

    Rasmussen poll: Most don't want border wall

    By Rebecca Savransky - 07/31/17 02:04 PM EDT

    A majority of likely voters in a new poll doesn't think the U.S. should build a wall along the country's southern border.

    The conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 37 percent of likely voters said the U.S. should construct a border wall in an effort to curb illegal immigration.

    Most Americans continue to oppose U.S. border wall, doubt Mexico would pay for it

    By Rob Suls

    As was the case throughout the presidential campaign, more Americans continue to oppose (62%) than favor (35%) building a wall along the entire U.S. border with Mexico. And while President Donald Trump has said the U.S. would make Mexico pay for the wall, the public is broadly skeptical: 70% think the U.S. would ultimately pay for the wall, compared with just 16% who think Mexico would pay for it.

    Poll: Americans oppose Trump’s wall, easing regulations

    By LOUIS NELSON

    American voters oppose construction of a wall on America’s southern border with Mexico, restarting work on controversial pipeline projects and loosening environmental and financial regulations, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.

    On the president’s promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, voters opposed its construction, 59 percent to 38 percent. Opposition to the wall grew when respondents were asked how they felt about the project if U.S. tax payers were forced to pay for it. In such a scenario, those polled opposed the wall, 63 percent to 35 percent. From day one of his campaign, the president has promised that Mexico would pay for the border wall, although Mexico’s president has steadfastly insisted that his government will not.
