Tarriffs need to go up.

Can we start calling tarriffs what they are, which are "taxes"?

So, you're advocating tax increases on Free Republic. I thought that was unpopular around here...

Dear John HK

If you read the article, you will note that the US TAXPAYER is on the hook for over 16 BILLION we have shoved directly into enterprises which COMPETE with the US TAXPAYER.

Who are you trying to kid?

I'd rather pay a tariff so my neighbor is WORKING than pay taxes to finance the success of PRChina.

I could support tariffs IF every dollar of tariff income to the government was offset by a dollar decrease in income taxes.

Taxing foreigners is a very popular idea. They (foreigners) pay we (Americans) don't, I like it!

On ALL imports...........hell yes. Place heavy duties and tariffs on everything that's imported into this country and SCRAP THE CODE, ABOLISH THE IRS

Without the IRS the price of domestic products and services in this country will plumet. When the price of domestic products and service's plumet in this country, people will prefer to purchase domestic which will stimulate manufacturing, Thus creating jobs.
