Do you not understand that import tariffs are taxes on *American* consumers?
If I get to choose between “Free Trade” and financing a trillion dollar trade deficit that goes along with it with high taxes, or a tariff and no trade deficit, I will choose the tariff. Call me AN AMERICAN!
What I believe is that the US is damn near dead. Pretty soon it won’t matter if we import any Chinese goods. We won’t be able to afford cheesy toxic Chinese crap.
What I wish is that our government would quit holding the US back so that we could create an atmosphere for job creation and growth in America, something other than burger flipping and assembly, but that hasn’t and won’t happen.
Vicious cycle. No good jobs, people rely on government.
But lets talk about the title of this piece. How many sheeple are going to be impressed reading this title? Like it or not, it will be seen as the GOP isn’t for fair trade and is for screwing the US in favor of China.
PEOPLE WANT JOBS LIKE WE USED TO HAVE IN AMERICA. IT WAS BETTER THAN CHEAP CRAP BOUGHT WITH CREDIT CARDS.
LOOK WHERE THAT HAS TAKEN US.
The GOP are such masters of communicating ideas. /sarc
A completely voluntary tax. Don't what to pay the tax don't buy the imported product. It is a proven system that works for the benefit of the nation and it's citizens. Unlike the progressive income tax which replaced tariffs as the primary source of tax revenue for the federal government. You obviously like the progressive income tax better, how progressive of you.
