There is no overseas competition for hamburger flippers. No matter how high or low our tariffs, they can't protect purely domestic operations.

those that whine about unfair are doomed and not really capable of being part of the great game that is business

With the tariff suggestion, I was referring to manufacturing jobs. If there were no economic advantage to shipping jobs overseas, more of those jobs would stay in the US.
