I realize that tariffs are controversial given the current political climate, but they really are one of the best ways to claw back money from large corporations and reward unskilled labor in the US. We need to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US.
The loss of those jobs disproportionately affected minorities. Increases in corporate tax is easily avoided by domicile changes. Tariffs are a simple way to restore balance. Build it here. Hire here. No tariffs.

- komali2 7y agoDo you have evidence to support your claim? I ask because in my experience this is one of those "sure, makes sense" situations (like "just build a wall!") that, when actually taken in the context of real world economics, doesn't work.
