      We end up paying them. Not countries, or corporations. The cost gets passed to consumers.

        Okay, but why is that specific to the middle class?

        Also, wouldn’t it make sense to tarrif all the businesses who are using other countries for cheap labor?

          What good do tarrifs do towards companies if they pass that on to consumers? When will that price ever touch their wallets? Its not specific to the middle class, the poor will also be eradicated. I just thought I’d mention we’re heading towards a shit ass society where you are either poor or rich. Theres no in between, theres no comfort, theres just a boot stomping on the face of humanity forever.

            Well it should hit them in the wallet when people choose not to buy that thing because there’s something better at the same price here.

                Don’t buy the stuff. Buy the American stuff so it goes back in American wallets. That’s the idea right?

                  Do I need to show you the sheer volume of imports? What the fuck is even made in America? Electronic air dusters and other random assortments? Definitely not the items we use and buy on a daily basis.

                  But you know what, you seem to think this is a great fucken idea. So I’ll just see you in four years and we’ll see what’s what. Its not going to be pretty. The guy said so himself.

                    Do you think these things need to be made by China? What’s so wrong about making it profitable to make them in America?
