I truly understand the misguided logic behind all these tariff threads. Pretty simple, if we place tariffs on imports, we can create high paying jobs here in America. Our standard of living will increase because we are paid more. The increase in our wages will more than pay for the increase in the price of goods.

It’s a variation of the “lets all get wealthy by increasing the minimum wage” argument.

The workers in Indiana at carrier were making $14.00/hr. Is that high paid?
