“But no the cost differential between slave wage products and the cost of US workers goes to the stock holders. So hopefully the tariff will just negate that. So the increase will be negligible.”

A 45% tariff on imported goods has been proposed. You actually think the impact of a 45% increase in the cost of goods will be “negligible”?

45% is to high. If it were up to me I'd start at 5%, then if the ChiComs play rough and maintain their trade barriers I would up it 5% again each year and cap it at 25%.

I would ease in the tariffs slowly, insidiously.
