Ag geez, not this sh!t again.
Women and kids hardest hit. ESPECIALLY those kids in the ghetto who wear $400 Nikes.

80% of kids shoes are made in China - U.S. families cannot afford even higher tariffs on shoes! Please - NO new shoe tariffs! Here's a thought, how about parents buy affordable sneakers not manufactured in China for a few bucks a piece, but marked up by Nike to pay Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and other athletes tens of millions of dollars per year to use their likenesses.

“U.S. families cannot afford even higher tariffs on shoes!”
Riiiiiight....all those shoes they buy at $3 a copy and sell for $400 will do what...get marked up to $500?
Cuz Phil Knight needs to keep up his lifestyle.
Uh huh.
Let the piggies squeal. Maybe they could employ some of the masked teenagers who infest downtown Portland making shoes here instead of there.
Of course we all know that’s a nonstarter. Work is anathema to them...

New Balance has factories in the USA. Why not the rest of you thieving globalist pigs.

Make sneakers in the USA. They won’t fall apart in 1 year and eventually everyone will save money.

Curious how many of the people now concerned about the consumer never have a word to say against higher personal-income or corporate taxes. China has bought off a lot of our pols and opinion makers.

those kids in the ghetto who wear $400 Nikes I'll bet that there's a good chance those sneakers were stolen from someone, or the money to buy them was raised through less than legal means. In either case, I can't see our melanin-enhanced brethren in the poor sections of town worried about having to come up with an extra $40 or $50 to pay the tariff.
