How’s it feel to shoot your self in the foot economically?

They will never accept responsibility. It will always be the fault of the greedy profit seekers.

It is those rich factory owners wanting their third Rolls or second summer home in the Hamptons.

The fact that no one wants to pay an extra $10 for a tee-shirt so that someone that they have never met can afford a 70 inch TV

Sorry folks the simple fact is that even in a communist country the realities of capitalism apply. The price of everything is defendant on the rules of supply and demand AND on what the market will bear.

If a tee-shirt will not sell at $50 then the price must fall to that at which it will sell. If the price of labor precludes selling at that price then the cost of labor must fall or the tee-shirt will not be manufactured and the labor will be unemployed.

Being liberal means never to have to say you are sorry. It's all about the unions, I bet. I have not seen the fine print, but, I bet the a unionized shop gets a break on the $15 / hour.

“The fact that no one wants to pay an extra $10 for a tee-shirt so that someone that they have never met can afford a 70 inch TV.”

Isn’t that exactly what those pushing for tariffs to protect jobs are asking for: that everyone should pay another $10 for their Tshirts so a select few can have bigger TV sets?
