Using slave labor can only go so far. Most goods are only 5-8% cheaper made in China. It is a myth that Chinese made goods are massively cheaper than domestic made goods. That would imply the free trade is actually helping the USA. It is not.

When you buy a retail product made in China you are paying for slave 3rd world labor true; but paying first world prices for marketing, corporate staff salaries, engineering, testing, warehousing, shipping, stock dividends and CEO bonuses. The worst of all worlds.

So a small tariff would offset the 3rd labor advantage.

Mexico has a 16% tax on our goods that are sold there. We have a typical state sales tax of approx. 6% on Mexico’s goods sold here.

I would think a 10% tax would just get us even with them.

How do we know for certain? When Walmart is primarily the only game in town, how do you know it the every day low low price?

They set the price. Juss aksin
