You don’t care about American workers and America having any homegrown industries. Taxes go to the government. Tariffs protect American workers and protect the U.S. from being taken advantage of.
OH BS. JUST CUT THE CRAP WITH THE OURRAGEOUS STATEMENTS THAT I WANT AMERICAN INDUSTRIES TO DIE AND I DON’T CARE ABOUT US WORKERS. Pretty uppity comments for a newbie. I have been here since 2000 and I care about America and American workers. We can disagree, but you look obnoxious and ignorant when you keep lobbing incendiary comments like that just because someone disagrees with you. Sheesh!
1. I said I don’t care what WSJ says.
2. You don’t know me. I have 3 family members who have either been replaced or had to compete intensely with foreign workers...I care more than you know about Americans because IT HAS AFFECTED ME PERSONALLY thru layoffs.
The tax cuts should spur many homegrown industries and BTW we have a number of them already—just look to Silicon Valley. Oh and Freepers screamed when Obmama exercised crony capitalism for some of them and chose winners...what is different here?
3. No idea what your comment taxes go to government has to do with anything.
3. Tariffs are paid by THE CONSUMER. Taxes have nothing to do with it.
4. Did you know there are over 12,000 tariffs? we pay they for all kinds of things like sugar. Why?
I am not saying there are not things that should be done to improve trade—certainly unfair agreements need to be reworked, but to just throw tariffs on certain industries (Wilbur Ross) and not others does seems like crony capitalism to me.
Done until you can have a mature discussion.

Your former username was Bushwon. You are a globalist.

This is not crony capitalism. This isn’t not letting a company fail or funding something like Solyndra. If tax cuts were enough, then our manufacturing industries wouldn’t have been lost while the Bushes were in office.
