/pol/ was WRONG bring back free trade while you still can
>>545557632/pol/ is literally always wrong lol
>>545557632Americans don't know what's good for them, that being said the Trump tariffs where retarded. Tariffing the machines you need to make the shit you are also tariffing is so fucking stupid.
No one who understands economics actually likes tariffs. We learned this shit like a century ago that it's bad for everyone involved
>>545557632Trump went about tariffs in the most retarded way imaginable. Tariffs to protect key industries make sense, but blanket tariffs are literally only hurting small businesses that rely on foreign imports and making doing business in states that border Canada/Mexico/are major shipping lanes more expensive.
>>545559035China won with tariffs, but they actually knew how to use them>>545558909That is because Trump used tariffs as a tax on poor people, not as an actual policy
>>545559035They have their place when encouraging certain industries or protecting key industries, Trump is just a retarded and bad at business because he was a real estate private equity guy
>>545559035>No one who understands economicsAka the oligarchs who benefit from Free Trade also fund the Economics departments.No country has ever industrialized without tariffs, but they have to be a set and predictable rate across the whole economy, without special pleading by this country or that industry to be effective
>>545557632I told you guys last year that was the beginning of the end
>>545559261>>545559276>>545559641you lost trannyno one wants to pay for more expensive shit to save your jobs, and your jobs weren't even saved anyway
>>545559641ok commie
>>545557632The no difference people are the smartest. If inflation wasn't so bad people wouldn't give a fuck about tariffs seeing as almost every other major country does it they are just t ricked by the (((media))) to think it's the reason shit costs a lot and not inflationTariffs absolutely would fix a lot but you need them to go for like 10 years straight
>>545559035>No one who understands economics actually likes tariffs.Canada does since you have a bunch on us
>>545557632 >>545557895Large and foreign billionaiers controlled companies HATE tarrifs. Corrected, true. Because they can no longer hide their profits in british offshore banks in the offshore tax free jurisdictions. Tariffs are taxes on billionaiers and billionaier controlled companies.These taxes are PAID UPFRONT, when container ships with chink stuff manufactured in China for those companies LAND in US ports.>no tariffs>means large companies hide money in british offshore banks before taxes>tariffs means taxes paid upfront.
>>545559035Low iq. are you a jeet?>>545561195
>>545557895yupamazingly enough people don't like rising prices>>545561195Tariffs are taxes period. The cost is paid by the importer and that means the consumer gets higher prices.
Tariffs can be used well when implemented sanely targeting specific industries for protectionism.What the trump did was full retard destabilization that allowed forbthe already wealthy to abuse that fast change and make more money.
>>545557632No taxation without representation. We hat kings who tax us without our consent.
>>545559261>China won with tariffs, but they actually knew how to use themYou mean people cant complain or they get shipped to the Tianamen Fun Times Camp. Or i'll deduct 69 points in your Good Boy Card if you dont keep buying Chinese debt.
>>545561428No, 1. Tariffs are taxes PAID UPFRONT, when your chink made junk for billion $ corps LANDS in US port. >not after accountants and tax lawyers hide profits in offshores 2. Tariffs are taxes that are PAID . No tariffs means loarge corpos hide profits in low tax and offshore jurisdictions , and DON'T pay any tax.3. ALL COUNTRIES have tariffs. >use everywhere by ALL COUNTRIES. >to protect their markets from cheap $3/ day slave labor 4. We ran tests numerous times here ,NO TARIFFS related price increases have occured.>Target tried to raise prices 5%, >and lost more than 5% in sales>prices are already all extremely high and to the top. So billionaire large corpos are PAYING TAXES. Tariffs work. WTO , World Trade org, has a website for all tariffs, go check. >show your real flag btw, let's see your ACTUAL flag>bet it's british
>>545560848Whether a policy is red or blue is less important than whether it works
>>545560537I voted an entirely blue ticket
A majority supported tariffs in theory but then rejects them when they watch it play out in reality, you can see this in on other issues too btw
>>545557632The new Democratic agenda>free trade>Communism>trans rights>nationwide Sharia law>destroy all Flock cameras and datacenters>require electric cars>Tesla out of business
>>545563656good. say goodbye to your dumbass tariffs
>>545564247Brother, are you retarded, I said the trump tariffs are bad, tariffs are a tool like any other and just because some retard used a saw to cut off his leg because he had an amputee fetish doesn't mean all saws are bad
>>545557632The world doesn't have free trade with us, but clearly this isn’t working. What should we do about countries like Canada that charge 300% on US goods?
