Tariffs are a tax. No one has explained to me why tariffs are worse than the income tax. I say let foreigners pay for the privilege of our markets and infrastructure. Then, let’s zero the income tax and return to constitutional money. The boom in small business will once again provide the commercial lifeblood of the Republic. The added benefit will be that corporate America, which seems to support the destruction of our culture, will lose power and influence.
No one is saying that there should be no foreign trade. The current system is not working, though. Free trade as it is currently structured is simply a way to transfer wealth from the middle class to the top 0.1%. Alleged “free marketers” who think that managed trade and the welfare-warfare state are preferable to true Christian free enterprise and limited government, need to have their heads examined.
Good point.
The problem with "free trade" is you have to pay for things twice: Once ay WalMart and again on April 15th to pay for all the social programs for the "displaced" US workers.
What Free Traitors™ want you to believe is that the supply function is static and no new domestic suppliers will EVER come on line. Despite their best efforts to the contrary, brand new factories are still being built in the USA all the time. Not as many as are closed mind you, but the situation is dynamic and not static. With more domestic supply will mean pressure to reduce prices.
I've tried to explain it it you several times but you are a myopic simpleton.
