House Republicans and Democrats are joining retail corporations to ask United States Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer to reduce tariffs on China in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

The National Retail Federation (NRF) is circulating a pre-written letter asking Lighthizer to reduce U.S. tariffs on China and extend tariff exemptions so certain corporations continuing to make their goods in China are exempt from having to pay significant costs to export their products back into the U.S. marketplace.

You know, the pandemic is so bad, perhaps we should just put
China in charge of our nation and save payroll on our elected
officials.

You know its coming...

The letter, obtained by Breitbart News, has already been signed by Representatives Jackie Walorski (R-IN), Darin LaHood (R-IN), Ron Kind (D-WI), and Colin Peterson (D-MN). The NRF is also lobbying other members of Congress to sign on.

American companies continued to conduct business with Nazi Germany despite the war. This is no different. The exception here is that Nazi Germany never bought and paid for American politicians. China is much more dangerous to America and the West’s civilization than Nazi Germany even at Germany’s power peek.

I am sure someone will question this assertion. So, here.

Our political contributions aren't big enough for them to be concerned with.
