What if you “magically” put a tariff on those that DO NOT engage in fair trade with us, and leave the rest alone?

But somehow, magically, if you put a tariff on foreign manufactured products, the domestic manufactured product doesn't go up in price?

You Free Traitors™ need to get your story straight.

A few days ago I made a comment on how many Freepers think that Nabisco will lower their prices for Oreos once they are "Hecho en Mexico". Nabisco will no longer pay a duty for sugar and labor is essentially free. Probably a 10% decrease in cost of production. I had one of you Free Traitors™ explain to me that the price would stay the same, only the bottom line would improve and Nabisco only had an obligation to their international stock holders.

So YOUR supposition that "Free Trade" lowers prices is Bull Crap.

What is "fair trade"? Who decides?

“What is “fair trade”? Who decides?”

The buyer and seller. Nothing more, nothing less.

If I'm the guy who decides the price of Oreos, when am I more likely to raise the price?

When I just reduced my sugar and labor costs or when the government just hiked my competitor's prices by 10%?

YOUR supposition that tariffs are voluntary is Bull Crap.
