I think it is our government who should act.
We need a global import tariff. But I stress, this must be global. NO EXCEPTIONS.
On all imports. I say we should start with 10%. Every single good, service or product. Oil. Food. Produced goods, such as your example of Apple.
America needs to build things.
So, if all Apple products were hit with a 10% tariff, how many American jobs would that produce? ZERO.
BUT, how many jobs would America lose? Lets see…..no doubt some of their 30 thousand store employees would be laid off….and no doubt Fed Ex, who ships their products into the US, would be laid off….and then there’s all the tech geeks who lose some of their customers….etc.
You see dude…this sh-t is just more complicated than your whiny “bring em back” mantra contemplates.
Why don’t we stop making building a factory so damned hard and expensive with the EPA, local zonings, union rules, crony kick backs, etc. Why don’t we roll back our own liberalism and then just get the hell out of the way and let America rock???
No, you would rather apply your own personally approved taxation…..
