Oh that's your "big reveal". Well - unless you're the proud owner of a Soviet-era car - it looks like I was right about that too.
Post a link to the thread to show context if you think I've been inconsistent.
Tariffs reduce competition inside the tariff wall, leaving customers with a worse deal. Thinking back to the UK in the time of monopoly car-producer British Leyland, tariffs stopped BL from having to compete with those icky foreigners at all.
BL didn't get back on its feet. It stopped trying. The unions knew that the Government had their back.
In summary: when a country has a monopoly producer then tariffs do indeed destroy all competition.
In the meantime I can't help noticing that you continue to evade my question.
Why is Texas doing so well - and California badly - if it's not due to their difference in tax and regulation?
This is the third time of asking. Let readers of the thread see if you'll answer it this time.
Yes Texas has less impediments to industry. Has as nothing to do with off shoring for slave labor. Also you are totally wrong about competition. Let’s say there is a monopoly manufacturer protected by a tariff. Another domestic manufacturer will under cut them and then competition begins. Seems like Free Traitors think the laws of supply and demand don’t work domestically. That is because you are a brainwashed anti American gloBULList.
