Tariffs a Good Idea. Everything I buy now is made in China.!!$?$

Actually, I think Leftists would prefer to raise taxes on US corporations, instead of foreign ones, thus shipping jobs overseas.
Trump is actually toying with the idea of increasing taxes on the rich.

Here's something to think about.

When an oligarch is pointing at something to "save money", you should look at what they are NOT talking about.

Like the $1.6 trillion of annual spending on tax expenditures which overwhelmingly benefit oligarchs.

This is a dead giveaway their have no intention of cutting spending, except on the backs of the middle class and the poor.
 
Yeah, I'm not buying what they've been trying to sell us about tariffs.

Tariffs are basically a tax, so what's happening is a huge tax increase, masquerading as "tariffs." The burden gets passed on to consumers.

Plus, as I already posted a few posts up, because everything is being moved toward AI and robots, I'm not buying the rainbows and unicorns picture some folks are trying to paint.

Tariffs are basically a tax on countries that have unfair tariffs. They will no longer get away with dumping cheap slave-labor foreign products into our market and make it unprofitable for US to make our own products.
 
Well sure, you can find expensive socks if you look for them. I typed in socks made in USA and see unisex for $2.75/pr. Great rated ladies' socks for $7.

For your tastes, you should consider some cheaper, more stylish ones...

Walmart is selling socks for about $1 per pair. Nothing made in America is selling for $1 a pair.

That's what we're being told, yes. Like I said, as of now I just don't believe that that's the reason. But time will tell how it all goes.

Say you have never paid a tariff without saying you never paid a tariff.

I pay for tariffs everyday. I pay a freight fowarder to bring me stuff we imported and paid a manufacture $13 for. Then the freight forwarder charges me $1 to move it and $1 for the tariff. I pay that. Not some foreign country.

That's why nothing is made in America anymore. Because countries like China can dump cheap products into our market that are made by slave labor. You support that apparently.

Buy American, stop supporting slavery.

Do you buy expensive American stuff all the time?

I always buy American when I can but, today it is almost impossible because of the unfair tariffs that Trump is fixing. This thread is about what trump did TODAY and your question is irrelevant really. But then you're just another TDSer with hatred in your soul and no vision for America.

There isnt anything that you cant buy made in the US. What shoes are you wearing right now? What brand shirt? What brand pants? Where did you get your furniture?

So, why can't 'you' buy anything made in the U.S. today? Try hard to actually think rationally.
