It doesn't seem to be working.
quote:Really I would love to see imports from China tagged with a bit higher tariff
So let's see. We cut one guys taxes and raise another. We cut taxes on Mexico because it's in our interest and raise taxes on China when it isn't. Do you realize the hogwash of that argument?
Now if you believe corporate socialism, you are supposed to eliminate all tarrifs because it cuts into corporate profits, and you eliminate the American way of life in the process. (That is cutting all tarriffs.)
You can't have it both ways. Either tarriffs are to protect the American way of life or they aren't. You can't arbitrarily raise and lower taffiffs indescriminately, you would be following the Democratic policy on income taxes, only on a global scale.
