A company-blind across the board import tariff would have one additional benefit.

A blanket import tariff would apply to everything imported. Thus the “American” car factories in the south, piecing together cars from components made in Korea or Japan would pay tariffs on the amount of content in those “American made” cars which was not actually made in America.

This would immediately create a powerful incentive to bring the manufacture of all those parts here as well.

I prefer a less expensive car to paying more and getting the same or less.

The purpose of business, that is capitalism, is to make money, not provide wages to over paid workers.

Your brand of industrial control socialism is not wanted

Total nonsense - it would cripple economic activity and destroy another 50% of the jobs in this country - we would never recover from such a stupid idea!
