Why are tarriifs bad but minimum wage is good?

[TNHarley]

Shouldnt they be worried about minimum wage too? Or does that magically not effect them?

Are they protective tariffs or punitive tariffs?

All these lies about tariffs being bad have already been proven wrong by this chart that shows that using tariffs was the only time we ever carried a positive trade balance!

America once made stuff, I look at Bethlehem Steel where my grandparents worked as a example. Gone now replaced by a casino. Sad. When Toyota dumps a million and half cars, Americans buy them. And don't tell me they are made better as right now they have steering wheels breaking, and not long ago lost a billion in a lawsuit. But some imports are necessary too. Nothing I personally own in computer or photography is made here except bags and papers. Check how Japan and others tariffs our products sometime. Google it. Support a fair wage for all then all will be able to buy. A few sites to check.

Cynic's hat on: Minimum wage or a fair wage allows working Americans the opportunity to buy foreign made goods while complaining about the cost of American products made by Americans who have a better life than them.

One Example of American Workers Growing Despair; We Need OUR Jobs to Stay Here!
So now that republicans have full control, HOW will they address the following issues?


"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us." Pogo

Bad for whom? When used properly, tariffs are the difference between free trade and fair trade.

What history teaches us about who wins in trade wars

Ask the people trying to survive on starvation wages.

With a few exceptions, people who are trying to survive on starvation wages have only themselves and their personal life choices to blame.

I remember the days when conservatives were free-market libertarian types.
Long gone. Reality is that economists say those jobs arent coming back.
And kill jobs in other industries that use those imports, such as auto industry.
Already happened at beer keg company.

and the list goes on ..

• Trump on tariffs: ‘Trade wars are good, and easy to win’
• Here’s why the stock market took the Trump tariff announcement so hard
• Why Trump’s tariffs will hurt more American jobs than they help
• Trump steel tariffs to hit these 8 countries the hardest (China is not one of them)

And I am sure those on the left will tell us that when used properly minimum wage is the difference between poverty and success.

No. Higher paid labor spends more and creates more demand; and can help labor pay for infrastructure.

why not get rid of low wage jobs through automation, to improve our trade balance?
