They're good for American citizens that have the political muscle to get themselves protected from international slave labor competition.

Tariffs are good for Americans, and our American culture. Americans do not want to be forced to support slave labor just because the internationalists prefer it as a mode of production. Americans abolished slavery in this country and we should not be forced under the mantle of "free trade" to support it globally. Only 'global citizens' want Americans to support slave labor, because 'global citizens' profit from it. Just ask expat_panama. He's an expatriot for a reason.

Nobody forces Americans to buy products from countries with poor labor laws. If you don't like the way business is done in those countries, boycott their products.

The only one supporting slave labor is the strawman you have created.
