“I believe having a special tax on foreign made products makes those products more expensive.”

Import tariffs protect American industry. The United States became the premier economy in the world because of tariffs. The Constitution, when written, specified that tariffs would support the government. If you don’t have a job and no money, it doesn’t matter how cheap something is. As the guy on the Remington commercials once said, the way things are moving with American manufacturing leaving the country, all that will be left is for us to start selling insurance policies to each other.

Free Traitors are members of a religious cult with fixed core beliefs which override any patriotic or pro American economic reasoning other than the bottom line. They do not view the USA like a patriot, but view the USA as an economic zone. Corporations are like NGO's and have no specific allegiance to anything unless it promotes a type of fascism to restrict any attempt to reign in their power. The middle class is their enemy.

The one thing that really gets me is that they think anyone that hates income taxes and promotes tariffs must be pro union. Well the factories we are shutting down, Ford not withstanding, are 90% non union and pay very reasonable wages.
