A Brief Lesson on Tariffs

[Brain357]

Every intelligent person has been against them for years. They cost jobs and slow economy.

Oh I am against trade wars always have been, but my question remains the same all I hear from liberals is they want a living wage, tariffs give it to a select few...buf you are against it now?

I’ve seen no evidence it does. Link?

That's your retort and you are on a political message board? Now you are becoming a super troll on this thread.

You won’t support your claim, the troll is you! You are making false claims.

I suggest you stop cherry picking and ignoring people's posts on here and other political message boards if you want to debate me.

I suggest you stop making blatantly false claims you can’t back up.

The claims are real indoctrinated one, again so are you against the EPA and OHSA?

We could make them as cheap here if it wasn't for those government agencys...

Can someone start by telling me how it is good for America to have huge trade deficits? Why is that desirable to the left?

/----/ Anything that weakens America is good for the Left. They got a great talking point, LOOK AT OUR TRADE DEFICIT. WHY WON'T THE REPUBLICANS FIX IT?" and ran with it for years.

Trouble IS,that it was big business that started massive importing into the US starting in the mid 60's.from China etc., basically profiteering

For your information in 1964.... 96% of all clothing worn by Americans was MADE IN THE USA.....Today only 4% of clothing worn by Americans is made in the USA

Question,your God the Moron Trump,says he will make America Great again,tell me then on his projects why has over the years,he only used Korean,Japanese and Chinese STEEL??????moreover used illegal workers at cheap rates,thus putting hard working American workers OUT OF WORK.

This has NOTHING TO DO WITH LEFT AND RIGHT..IT IS TO DO WITH GREED AND ARAVICE,Trump being a Typical Example,he and his Cronies

Earlier this year Trump announced a big ol' MAGA tariff on solar panels imported from China. This was great news for the U.S. solar industry, who later announced $1 billion in investment and job hires! However, this was bad news for the U.S. solar industry, who later announced $2.5 billion in investment and jobs losses. Thank you for joining me, in today's brief lesson on tariffs.

Billions in U.S. solar projects shelved after Trump panel tariff

This is so silly and sad. Wanna try to sell U.S.-made solar panels and technology in China? Guess what you'll pay to do so? You see, why is it that it's bad for us to do the same thing that China and many other nations have been doing for decades, namely, protecting their industries with tariffs?

Now, if the free traders don't succeed in overturning this tariff, the U.S. market will adjust to the tariff rates and our solar-panel industry will be just fine.

Here's a lesson in tariffs for you: We became an industrial and economic powerhouse behind the protection of high tariffs for decades. In fact, from the 1850s until the 1960s, the Republican Party was the champion of protective tariffs. Such notable Republicans as Abrham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, William Howard Taft, Calvin Coolidge, and Robert Taft ("Mr. Republican" in the 1940s and 50s) supported protective tariffs.

Sorry to remind you,you became an economic powerhouse on the BACK OF THE SLAVE TRADE,"NEVER HEARD OF THE TRIANGLE OF TRADE"or isn't that talked about these days...much like the Lynching which you made into an Art-Form...and the decendents of these slaves are still repressed up until today...Let the rest of the world ban ALL AMERICAN PRODUCT's THEN,you'd be fcuked

fuk Trump and his horse.

the country knew that.

Because it makes us poor, and the left want's us poor.

^ says that while living in the wealthiest nation in the entire history of mankind

Indeed. Thanks to the capitalist system. For all of its faults, and there are many, the capitalist system generates more wealth, for more people, than any other system the world has ever seen. That's why progressives hate it. People who aren't poor, can't be herded like sheep. Progressives require sheep.

You can't attack progressives while being one yourself. Tariffs are not a capitalist concept. The rest of your post is beyond garbage. How did you become a mod?

I'm not a progressive. I am a classic liberal. Learn the difference. I became a Mod because I'm smarter than you.

A classic liberal? Are there any conservative mods?

flacaltenn is Libertarian. Look up

Librards are unbelievable they ***** about rich CEOs sending good paying jobs overseas, then ***** about tariffs to create/ keep jobs here.. because it will cost more.. you can't have it both ways.

Tariffs always cost more jobs than they create, what don’t you get?

Then why dew other countries place tariffs on the US?

For the tax dollars.

So it’s good for other countries to place tariffs on the US and for there to be huge trade deficits and that’s good for the US? Why?

You understand we have to largest economy in the world? Other countries can stunt their economy if they want. Economists agree tariffs are bad.

Economists are wrong far more than they are correct. History says that tariffs in one direction is bad for the country without tariffs.

[frigidweirdo]

You should contact Canada, EU and China than and tell the sob's to decrease their tariffs, we both agree they are bad!

Problem is, they are necessary because of all the nations who exploit America, your taxpayers and workers. Just look at what happened to me because of these dirty animals.

So, can you tell me how much the tariffs are for US products going to China, the EU and Canada compared to those entering the US?
