So let me get this straight---------->
1. Leftists love tax and spend, do they not? What is a tariff? A tax! And yet, producers can get OUT OF THE TAX if they build here.
2. When was the last time you can remember a QUACK creating a tax, and gave you a legal way out of not paying it!
3. Do we like competition? Well, suppose some insidious manufacturer says-----> to heck with Trump, to heck with Americans, I am just going to pass on the full cost, period!
Well guess what---------------->instantly a whole bunch of people are going to see if they can undercut that manufacturer by building here, and if they can, that over seas manufacturer is going to be, "cya, wouldn't want to be ya!"
This method should have been used long ago, but both political parties used our manufacturing base as a carrot to nations to get them to join OUR side during the cold war. Want us to be your friend? Give us an industry! Do you know that Richard Nixon basically gave away 70% of our electronics industry, for a Japanese vote in the UN? True story. For that vote, bye-bye Zenith, Philco-Ford, etc.
If you don't like this method of trying to reclaim our manufacturing base, then ask yourself an important question----------->who rebuilt and modernized Japan after WWII? Same for Germany? South Korea after the Korean war? The USA government, AKA.....the American taxpayer, meaning your parents and grandparents. Wouldn't you say to do that, they had to pay higher TAXES to finance them to help LOSE their own jobs? And now you scream to MAYBE pay a tax, to get at least part of those industries back?
Common sense is NOT in the LEFTIST vocabulary, that is 100% certain.......especially when talking about Trump. They instantly have relapses of TDS!
