that’s what we try to do with trade agreements but it is still better for us to have low taxes even if the other side does not reciprocate. They are only hurting themselves when they tax their imports

No, it does not hurt them, it hurts us. That is a lot of money flowing into another country that could be invested back in the businesses doing the trading. Also, if we are trying to get a level playing field, why is it that none of our trade treaties give us any advantage. Every trade treaty gives the other country an advantage over us. We have NOT been trying to get a level playing field, we have been giving away the store, and we have been doing it for years. It has to stop.
