With their ignorance of basic economics, the ONLY reason they support tariffs is because Turmp does.
If Trump came ouit tonight against tariffs, MAGA types would be all free marketers tomorrow.
Their love of tariffs is related to the cult of personality.

Income taxes are way more communistic than tariffs. Way more.

Tariffs are socialistic. Govt propping up select industries and companies by taking from the worker.
Again, if Trump came out against them tonight, y'all would be 100% free market tomorrow.
Yall would be better off subsidizing worker pay than taxing workers to support corporations.

Ive shared my thoughts
I don't care enough about your thoughts to be fishing thru a long thread to figure it out.
All I know is that you lefties/rinos don't have real solutions because it'll counter your own wants. Just throw shade on what the Right says they want to do. Ie...I'm sure none of you lefties will complain about the increase of goods that come from the recent union negotiations. We are about to see increase in produce like bananas because of union dock workers about to go on strike. No whining about that union "tax"

What some idiots who look for anything to criticize Trump about is the threat of tariffs will fix some things without even imposing them.
but no, let's cede bargaining chips before we start, just like RINOS on spending bills

Cut military and entitlement spending
Your government is causing this problem, not the Chinese.

Do you think tariffs incentivize countries like China to change poor practices like IP theft, etc.?

That's called welfare. We are getting more and more of it due to the exfiltration of wealth.
Big multinationals and Wall Street appreciate your opposition to tariffs. Mom and pops, not so much.

The worker (consumer) pays.
Just like corporate taxes.
Our government as fricked up the economy so bad y'all want to punish impoverished nations over it. Cheap imports have helped more poor Americans out of poverty than the government

What weve been doing...isnt working. Instead of railing on tariffs, give a practical idea for growing American industry that can realistically become policy. If your idea is something Democrats will never pass, its not viable

If you pair those tariffs with economic incentives to American companies to return to manufacturing in the USA, it most certainly can create a boom.
American companies, hire Americans, reap the benefits from incentives, and sell their products to Americans at a discounted rate, thus improving market share.

I would much rather approach this issue from the standpoint of tax incentives for keeping or growing American jobs instead of adding tariffs to everything coming in.
Best case scenario Republicans get a good majority in the house and that's the one thing that they focus on is revamping the IRS and taxation
Will never happen.

You are so silly with this tariff stuff. Tariffs are are like 2% of federal tax revenue. I think the other 98% of taxes are adding A LOT more costs to goods than tariffs.
