I can say "tarriffs". Can you say: "job subsidies"? I can say job subsidies. That is what the current trade envirornment is job subsidies to foreign nations. a tariff is not a job subsidy it is a duty laid on imports into a nation. When China has %50 tariffs on American consumer products going into China and sells products in the USA without being subject to tariffs that is a failure of the Federal government to take actions it was set up to take. Now, this has been explained to you several times in the past and tyou persist in your pro-Marxist stance taht tariffs are a job subidy. I must conclude it is intent to decieve on your part.Why do you want the federal government to subsidize your income?

Actually I do not want the Federal government taking actions which subsidize foreign nations at the expense of the USA. Nor do I want teh Federal givernment artrificailly lowering prices by allowing foreign nations to practice predatory trade practices in the USA.

When you call for tarriffs to protect your job, you are calling for increased prices for some so you can enjoy an increased life style at their expense.

There is nothing that madates anyone pay increased prices for anything merely forego purchasing those items subject to duties and you will avoid having to pay this tax.Sounds like a theme more at home in the democrat party.

The Clinton administration was responsible for removing the protectionist tariffs at the last round of GATT and sponsoring China's full unrestricted access to American markets. Since Republicans are supposed to be consertvative and thus pro American I fail to see how any person who is loyal to the USA can be against protective tariffs in appropriate circumstances. Now I can see Chinses nationals against American tariffs but Americans what rational would lead someone to want teh destruction of America and fellow Americans for a lower price on say a lawn chair Gee you get for $7.79 versus $7.99. In return you have helped the destruction of the USA great bargain.

Now something from your post reprised: Why do you want the federal government to subsidize your income?

A Far better question is why do you want to harm the American economy Duke? What is it about supporting the PRC and destroying America taht so attracts you?

You know, the more I see your incessant whining and complaining, the less inclined I am to take a favorable view of your position.

You are acting no differently than Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I have contempt for them when they have their hand out, shouting "gimme gimme" - and threaten to call me names. Now, do you have a good reason why I should feel any less contempt for YOU when you do the same thing, albeit you use "traitor" as opposed to "racist"?
