Take off the tariffs I currently have to pay for imported goods that I can no longer get manufactured in the USA, and I will be be hiring quite a few more Americans to work at good operations and logistics and sales and even IT jobs.
Raise them higher (as many on this site demand) and American factories will not magically appear to meet the demand - because people like me will be out of business and unable to buy their products, anyway.
Jeeves if you bothered to do ANY research at all there are basically no duties collected on goods and services imported to the USA. It’s a sick joke. The rate that USA sets it’s import tariffs are so low they currently only collect 1% on the total value of imports. ONE PERCENT. Our imports OTH face, on average, 8% duty overseas. So now you know the truth. Please stop spreading misinformation.
