Yay!

George Washington put a tariff on British shipping, and Boston shipbuilding exploded in growth.

Reagan put a 100% tariff on Japanese motorcycles and save Harley.

Trump should put tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods, OPEC oil and Canadian lumber.

Why would a country penalize work (remember, welfare and gifts are free of income tax) and pay those put out of work to buy cheaper goods from China? To make them in China, US companies have to give 50%+ ownership to China and pay import taxes on goods brought to China to build for the US.

Yeah, but Harleys suck and Jap bikes were fast, dependable, and much less costly.
