Brilliant you are not. America's manufacturing and technology was built on tariffs for 2 centuries till the 1970s. The results of free trade are crystal clear. There is no way you can compete with slave labor, trade barriers and no regulations.

You need to reread your tariff history.

You seem at have a problem with history. America always had tariffs of at least 10% to much higher levels throughout our history until recently. It was a critical factor in America becoming the biggest manufacturing and technological powerhouse ever; until the our experiment with free (one-way) corporate sponsored trade deals.

Please re-review our tariff history and come back with a argument.
