"Because every American has a God-given right to receive an above-average wage?" (recognizing the sarcasm)

Why no, because every America has the right to use the power of the federal government to extort wealth from their fellow citizens through the imposition of onerous tariffs on cheap high-quality goods imported from overseas. (More sarcasm)

Cheap high quality goods produced with cheap and I mean disgustingly cheap labor. One step over slave labor!!! If you don't beleive it you are only fooling yourself. The third world is being used to the advantage of those like you who do not want to defend the American worker against dirt floor economic standards. Shame

Not the way it works. No one is forced to purchase goods where a tariff is applied. Tariffs are a constitutional means of funding the government.
