Normally I am against Huge tariffs, however, i think we need to start at home...

If we started Removing our own internal TARIFFs called Domestic Overregulation and Overtaxation and we could start making widgets here, employing people here to make stuff than can sent out to countries that china is currently sending crap too.

We could even open up rare-earth mining which means we could supply our domestic industries with rare earths and even send material to Japan and S. Korea..... But that would require the EPA stop over regulation...

I would be okay with a minor increase in Tariffs, but we would HAVE TO reduce our OWN INTERNAL TARIFFS simultaneously.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Tariffs are an attempt to make an end run around the difficult job of tacking our internal economic problems - when stem almost 100% from the anti-capitalist attitudes being systematically inculcated into our government school students. As I have stated before, the US "unemployable rate" is already north of 50%.

Every time the Left tries to take a populist whack at Big Business (like the California minimum wage law), they do absolutely nothing to hurt Big Business with its armies of lawyers and lobbyists - but they end up punching smaller businesses right in the face. When called on this, they get defensive - and their arguments always boil down to it being their good intentions that count, not the results.

Until these feckless idiots are taken out of power, 100% tariffs on every single import won't lead to any improvement in the domestic employment rate.

Domestic over regulation and over taxation do not prevent us form making widgets here. Those things cause inflation perhaps a few pennies on the dollar. They prevent nothing.

I agree they are bad things but go after them as a separated issue. But offshoring for the cheapest labor has nothing to do with it.

"Movement" conservatives, God bless their little hearts, have been brainwashed into this ruse by big cap corporation and our corrupt government. They get you on board with the anti regulations / anti tax rhetoric when in fact those are used as political cover for the real hidden goal which is searching the world for the cheapest labor. So called movement conservatives fall for the bait everytime. When will you learn?
