A tariff is one of the easiest consumption taxes to avoid. All one has to do is stay out of ChinaMart™.

Yeah, until domestic producers raise their prices in order to pay those high wages you favor.

That is where you are wrong. By installing a tariff on imports you allow US producers to increase their prices to just below that of the import. Prices as a whole will increase and quality will decrease.

America can compete and win in a free market. The problem is our government put too many barriers in our way.
