I would say after 1913, the end of tariffs, was the dawn of socialism in America. So you have it exactly backwards.


no. I don’t have it backwords.

Last time a Republican did tarriffs it failed as countries we trade with threatened to increase tariffs on US companies. How is that good for employees.

Note, this is not 1913. The US trades with other countries. Any tariff we impose on them will be imposed on us.

You are missing the point that they already are.

China routinely interferes with US goods entering their country. Why aren't you proclaiming that everyone will match China's interference?

For example, each June China blocks all US films from playing in China in an attempt to prop up their own internal film industry.

Our politicians (both liberals and conservatives) are in the pocket of donors that profit from cheap foreign goods and labor.
