The labor costs for operating the Italian designed and manufactured paint brush assembly line is so expensive the paint brushes thus made can not be sold at a profit. The machinery was shipped to China along with an industrial engineer and a foreman that spent some time getting the Forbes 500 company’s China paint brush manufacturing operation up and running.

Tell us what was the labor cost per brush? What was the selling price? What was the competition? How about going south in the USA instead of doing something radical and playing footsies with our enemies? Please this forth of July i hope all traitors like you hide in their basements and pray to their Chinese handlers.

Perfect example of why wee need tariffs.

The reason we need tariffs is that China and other "trade partners" are playing a rigged game. "Free trade" with them means we fight with fists while they bring knives or guns to the fight.

The Chinese manipulate their currency to make their goods cheaper and more competitive, we don't. Our industries aren't permitted to dump toxic waste raw into rivers, theirs are. We don't have a pool of gulag political prisoners to work our factories (yet). They do. A tariff on Chinese goods is simply recognizing these realities and forcing them to pay the same overhead on manufacturing that we do, and to correct for market distortions caused by their currency deflation.
