Paid for by Walmart.

Q:Where does Walmart get its money? A:Millions of American customers. Walmart provides a service millions of people want so you do the Liberal Thug thing and attack an American based business that employs tens of thousands of Americans.

Wake up people. Tariffs.

I need to ask Jim why he keeps OWS people registered if Romney supports are booted. Why are know-it-all tax raising arrogant hard-core Marxists Leftists who sincerely believe the world would be a better place if everyone else simply agreed 100% with you still here?

And a whole lot more.

Really? What other liberty robbing Police State Thuggery will make you satisfied? Will you require Americans to only buy union made American source goods that have met your personal approval? Only when the US economy is completely dead and people are eating each other to survive will you consider your mission accomplished?

Tariffs are a profoundly stupid idea. Tariffs were a major cause of the War Between The States. The North followed your advice because they couldn't compete with proto-Walmart Europe. Europe reciprocated with an equally onerous tariff on the South's agricultural products. The tariffs greatly damaged the South's economy leading it in to desperation to break from the North which imposed the tariffs in the first place. So you are all for Americans dividing up the nation again and killing each other, right?

Where in the US other than Hawaii is coffee or tea grown? Going to bump up a huge tax on bananas and other seasonal crops like apples from New Zealand? OK, so Americans have to starve and be caffeine deprived and be without certain produce to satisfy your vanity.

How about Rare Earth Minerals? Going to tax the crap out of those industry critical resources because we can't mine them here? So your ego has now crushed many domestic high-tech companies or forced them to leave to buy their critical materials elsewhere.

You want energy prices to skyrocket because you demand confiscatory tribute for imported oil? That will win you the favor of people having to pay $6/gallon or more at the pump.

Because of environmental regulation and oppressive labor laws the cost differential between Chinese and domestic made solar panels is so large while the ROI on solar is so non-competitive now, that the continued mandates for energy suppliers to increase their portfolio with "renewable" energy sources will jack up energy rates so high that what few industries in the US that remain will seriously have to consider relocating to a less insane country. Meanwhile the welfare deadbeats will default and expect the few remaining Producers to underwrite their electricity costs while also paying hefty increases to power their own homes and businesses. So what pleases you is knowing that hungry Americans will be freezing in the dark.

What other areas of the economy do you wish to destroy? Let's see, if we slap massive tariffs on Chinese goods, what possible benefit do you see punishing a major holder of our national debt? War? Economic catastrophe?

Tariffs are diplomatic tools and a way to reward friends, cultivate markets and establish trade rules. Ever hear of the phrase "Most Favored Nation"? So you want to punish our long time allies and trading partners? Does it excite you tof he prospect of injecting mass chaos into an economy made up of symbiotic transnational trade alliances? A manufacturer in the US has written a contract to deliver a certain quantity of goods at a certain price, but the manufacturer relies on materials found overseas. You now killed that company by stealing their margin in the form of a new Federal tax. How many people will that unemploy? Are you giddy about ruining the lives of thousands of people who lost their job because you wanted to destroy the business with yet another oppressive tax?

Do you seriously expect other nations to sit back and let the US to hammer their export markets and not expect them to retaliate? Do you hate mankind so much that you want everyone around the world to suffer high prices and shoddy goods?

The Greeks only real thing of value they export is Olives. Lets levy tariffs on Greek olives just to make sure we do our part to push that economy over a cliff. That ought to go well for the global economy and NATO.

How many television manufacturers are there in the US? If you answered "None" then you also admitted that you want people to suffer a hickey on their next expensive home appliance. Given that most consumer goods are manufactured or assembled overseas, its pretty clear that you want to drain the already diminished bank-accounts of Americans in increased taxes and tributes to an already monstrously large Fe'ral Government.

Basically you are worse than the OWS Marxists because you aren't just selfishly demanding to have your bills paid and be given a sinecure - you want to punish, tax, and destroy America just to satisfy your own vanity and ego.
