i feel like some Americans don't know that they are the ones who will pay that extra 25 percent !

LOL Scott Walker. WI kicked his butt out! OK, one last time - China does not pay the tariffs. But you do.
Mexico isn't paying for that wall - But you do..
Trump doesn't pay taxes - But you do.
Trump doesn't think - But you can.

We can't level it, because they literally pay their factory workers less than a tenth as much and they don't privide basic healthcare coverage. Moreover, they work on average 12 hours a day and have less work safety regulations, which is why work-related deaths are through the roof there. You could tax at 100% and it still wouldn't level the playing field. This doesn't even scratch the surface of strategic government subsidies in order to undercut global competition in key industries, nor does it cover currency manipulation and IP theft. IP is the greatest strength of American capitalism. We have 10 times the amount of patents per year as all of Europe. Our freedom and protection of property rights insures it. China benefits from a brutal dictatorship and all the while steals our IP with American corporations bending the knee just to gain access to their market. As a government, they get the best of both worlds.

Tariff, _noun_, "a *tax* to be paid on a particular class of imports or exports." - he is literally raising taxes on average Americans and saying he'll give that money to wealthy landowners.

living in Wisconsin i thought it was interesting how tony evers won he had a 150% turnout in Milwaukee usually there is only 20% turnout but i find it interesting that nobody is talking about it.

Now, the playing field will be level. NOW, we will have "free trade." 25 vs. 25; net tariffs = 0

[maxmustermann]

.... meanwhile the Trump admin expects to grant 30000 H-2Bs for Jobs US citizens are to lazy or to snobby to do 😁

A tariff is a tax. The tariff acts like atax on the business importing a given good. Importers must pay the 25% duty once their products reach the United States. The money is paid on delivery and goes to the US Treasury.

We have the position of strength, , , , Tariffs are good for all governments
we have 2.5 trillion in revenue now, Tariffs could see that increased to over 3 trillion, remove the income tax and raise the tariffs ...( for those that know District of Columbia, London and the Vatican city support each other financially, we gave London Billions of dollars over the years..but no Chinese or Arab cities, odd?)

[none]

The markets seem to be saying something less enthusiastic about his 'policy' ( failed policy)

[laserblast]

I don't buy enough Chinese products for it to affect me.
