None of you seem to understand that the tariff would only apply to companies leaving here putting our people out of work and taking advantage of near slave wages overseas.It is not a tariff on all incoming trade.

Go ahead, and while you are there sell your products to them, because we will treat you like your host country treats us as far as markets are concerned.

Will be as effective as putting out a fire with gasoline.

As you impose tariffs, you increase costs of goods, which will influence other manufacturers to move, then you will call for more tariffs...a never ending cycle of failure.


Its like increasing taxes to get rid of poverty....its a dog chasing a tail that it will never catch.

What I said was that the cost of Tariffs is carried by the consumer in all cases. I didn't say anything about Trump's moronic threats to American corporations.

Why do you like to pay more for goods?
