“Yeah tariff are great for China just ask the workers who average annual pay is $4,500.”

You are disingenuously comparing apples and Studebakers.

China has a population 4x of the US and a GDP that is but 65% of the US.

However, you neglect, conveniently, to mention the ongoing transfer of Capital Stock from the US to China. Averaging over $400bil per year for the last 25 years.

$10 trillion dollars.

The largest transfer of Capital Stock in human history. And it’s because the Chinese were smart enough to copy 19th Century American mercantilism...the same mercantilism that built THIS country.

Take your tired arguments elsewhere.

The US didn’t become rich with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world on tariffs. Your argument is nonsense. China’s GDP is exactly the point. You want China’s income then Ape China’s policies. China’s mercantilism is a disaster for the average Chinese just as it will be here.

If you think you can tax yourself to prosperity the you are not just tired but wornout.
