Er, no. You are being deliberately obtuse.
1. Critical parts of many goods have to be made outside the US because the EPA says we cannot make them here.
2. These parts will cost a lot more if such a tariff is enacted.
3. The manufacturers needing these parts cannot set up a new US factory to make these parts as the EPA will not allow their manufacture here.
4. Therefore, the cost to the manufacturer is now up at least 100%.
5. Manufacturers pass costs on to the customer in the form of increased prices.
Address this issue, please. Tariffs will not encourage US manufacture until this enormous stumbling block is removed.
Now, if you want to talk about a law to mirror the tariffs of other countries right back at them, I’m all for that. But just a flat 100% tariff on anything imported? Won’t even begin to accomplish your stated goal.
Your constant repetition is at attempt to foist upon this discussion a false premise.
That import tariffs, would prevent American manufacturing.
That’s Orwellian.
Address this issue, please. Tariffs will not encourage US manufacture until this enormous stumbling block is removed.
Yes but the average libtard has been so deluded into thinking the EPA has fixed the problem instead of just driving the problem off-shore that only a nasty wake up call about the true cost of their policy will bring enough people back into reality to change the situation.
It's already starting with gasoline prices. But that only affects the "rich" people living in the suburbs. I've had to down size from my pick up to a compact car and it's now starting to cost me 50 bucks again to fill up my tank. But hurting me is preaching to the choir. The EPA needs to be gutted along with the rest of the bloated federal government.
Until we get through to the 40% block of voters that continually vote Democrat or we split this country in two. I don't see any choice but to go through a world of hurt.
