"I'm not accusing you of this but I've been in arguments where Free traders tell me screwdrivers would cost $10.00 a piece if made in USA."

Do you believe that placing tariffs on all imports will have no affect on the price of goods?

I think a 10% tariff would offset the social problems created by Free trade. So you can buy your Chink made crap screwdriver but I think you should pay $1.10 instead of $1.00. I would also eliminate the income taxes and institute other consumption based taxes.

The price of goods would increase but the price of government for the unemployed would do down. Pay me now or pay me later. No tariffs = lower product costs but labor costs are offloaded to the government which raises taxes. I go for tariffs.
