Who is "they"?
As opposed to the trenendous damage we have with NAFTA.
And then some including their souls.
Off point and irrelevant. Deflection is another great Leftist tool you guys use. Anything but a coherent, supportable argument.
Go away - quit wasting my time.
>>And to think he could have been our president! <<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He might have been the nominee; but, then HILLARY WOULD BE PRESIDENT.
He would have had 0% chance. The media would have destroyed him before breakfast.
Still, I am so sorry he has not learned his lesson, and to support President Trump.
So why do you use Great Britain as an example of a failure of the free market economy dork?
The question is can you learn?
industrialization->prosperity->globalism->offshoring->socialism->marxism.
GB sold out to global interests
What global interests?
And how does that make Great Britain an example of a failure of the free market economy?
Global freemarket as you call it failed GB. Offshoring and lowering tariffs destroyed the jobs of millions of Brittons. This made them ripe for socialism.
That’s the point of my whole argument! If our very own hoggish government signed into unilateral trade agreements for materials that benefit both nations VIOLA we have jobs in the US. But no, we’d rather have the onerous regulations in addition to tarrifs and allllll that tarrif money goes to piggy Uncle Sam in an effort to punish more open trade. That’s the ticket punish those evil businesses because daddy Government knows best how to create capital
Offshoring is a by product of your savior Government to over regulate everything they could get their hands on not a global free market. Tarrifs today kill business.
So since Government would like to play god once again who shall we apply tarrifs to since we are in the business of picking winners and losers in the marketplace.
Shall it be rice? Sugar? Steel? Aluminum? Computer chips? Investments into this country? Tires? Medicine? Fans? We gotta punish how about all of the above? I’m certain doing it will create millions of jobs
I certainly like the mandatory health care tariff if you will. Might as well call it a business tarrif. It is mandatory, transfers wealth to the Government, punishes producers and provides its services to those that are unworthy.
Government is grand isn’t it? Ya more Government please
Tariffs are from of taxation that are not mandatory, requires no filing of forms etc. and is not progressive. That is why you don’t like it.
I know what labor arbitrage is and I don’t need Wikipedia to describe it. The two heftiest reasons for it are regulations and taxes taxes taxes.
Any health care provider will tell you that costs would be reduced by half or more if it weren’t for regulations that require an overhead of clerical staff to CYA the company. Then there are of course taxes. Of course I’m going to move my damn business if my home country makes my costs two times what they should be due to regulations and then double pump me from behind by taxing me the more money I make.
That’s economics 101
I don’t like tarrifs because it is the Government who picks the winners and losers of the marketplace in who gets tarrifs and 100% of that tarrif money goes into the piggy Government.
Because we know the Government knows how to spend that money best
I am not opposed to lifting government regulations and eliminating taxes but those costs are minuscule compared the cost saving realized by firing a US employee making $30/hr and hiring a Mexican at $3/hr.
Ok what percent of the cost of a typical manufactured good is government compliance vs labor costs?
If you can't document your answer with data then you are guessing or you are just telling us you FEELINGS about it. You have nothing to back up your Chamber of Commerce propaganda.
It's just economics 101.
Winners = Americans
Losers = Foreigners
Cost of employees are MINISCULE as to the reason a company moves its operations
I’ll have to dig up the article about this Mexico misnomer about the reason they left is because of employee costs when exactly the opposite was true.
The article reflected that the employee cost per car to a company manufacturing in Mexico was a 4-500$ save per car. The executive went on to say that financially if moving your operations to Mexico based on that measure alone it wasn’t fiscally feasible to do this and the company would not move.
HOWEVER the 50+ unilateral trade agreements with other nations for material to manufacture was saving car manufacturers 2-3000$ per car. That means the Mexican Government has adopted free trade within their platform so that the free flow of tarrif free goods under agreements with these countries goes unabetted.
How?
