These days, tariffs are treated like a bad word. They are to be avoided, condemned, and shunned. Tweed-clad economists get visibly agitated when discussing them on television. Think-tankers in the Acela corridor scoff at them as a “tax on consumers” that “makes us poorer.” And because President Trump has made tariffs a central piece of his economic agenda – especially in our relationship with China – they have become a hot button political issue too.

But whether you are an ardent free-trader or hope Trump takes a more “America First” approach to our trade agreements in 2019, it’s important to know that the consensus opinion on tariffs has changed dramatically over the course of American history. The back and forth debates over tariffs in this country are as old as the Republic itself.

In fact, if it weren’t for tariffs, there probably wouldn’t be a United States .

We'll see when Trump is laughed out of the White House
by Pocahontas or the Sandman.

LMAO Trump is still the president Trump won again??

If they try to shove Biden down our throats he will.

None of the Dem candidates can stand toe to toe with Trump in a debate he'll mop the floor with them.

Yes he can run in his record of drastically increasing deficits. Or maybe slowing the economy, farmers love his trade war. Stagnant market? So much to run on.

Your spin and lies are of no interest to me.

So you want to ignore the facts, got it.

 

[Wyatt earp]

So, you missed that entire debate about Free Trade Ideologues vs economic self interest Populism in the primaries?



What actually happened was the Free Trade Ideologues used to rule the GOP. They got their way for a long time.


The results were not what they promised.


Eventually, far too slowly, imo, the less Ideologically and more pragmatic republicans, managed to sway the party to a new direction.


The Free Traders who sent the jobs overseas, were not pretending. They believe in Free Trade.


The Economic Nationalists who want those jobs back, are not pretending. We want those jobs back.


This should not be confusing to you.

Republicans turned good paid union workers into villains which made it ok to buy products from other countries. Previously people wanted to buy USA made.

Lazy fucks?

That’s what repubs say. Can’t have good paid jobs here.

Like the left hates union jobs in Washington state?

You know great union jobs that give Israel military hardware?

You will have to explain. Aren't we subsidizing Israel military hardware? Why should we do that?

So now you hate union jobs?

Are you an idiot? Explain your claim, I've no idea exactly what you are talking about. But why do you think we should subsidize the military of another country?

They stopped rising after we cut the bottom out from unions.

Workers who can’t organize are left on their own. Easy prey to corporate masters

Your wetbacks went to work under the table for a shitload less...Wetbacks ruined unions. See how this shit works...How can you have all the pet humans your heart desires and climbing wages?

Don't discount the effect of legal immigrants.


Wages don't rise, unless there is a SHORTAGE OF LABOR.

Don't discount the effect of legal immigrants.


Wages don't rise, unless there is a SHORTAGE OF LABOR.

Workers' wages also rise when there's an increase in UNION representation.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Perhaps. Do you wish to address my point about surplus labor?


Or is bringing in more dem voters more important than concern about wages?

Perhaps. Do you wish to address my point about surplus labor?

All human labor is a thing of value, i.e., a commodity, but unlike other commodities labor also creates value. The "owners" of the means of production derive their profit from exploiting the surplus labor of their workers.

In this system owners do everything necessary to increase profit: they fire workers, while expecting those who remain to increase productivity. They decrease benefits and set workers in competition with one another which drives down wages.

In short, it's not immigrants who decrease wages; it is the inherent unfairness of businesses run for profits which are split between owners and high-end managers, but where none of the surplus goes to the workers who create it.

Exploitation & Surplus Value

/——-/ And Communism is the ultimate solution—- right?

Yes they are a tax. We had a lot less other taxes when America was built on tariffs.

Which ones?

The federal income tax didn't start till 1913..

An Economic Policy Institute study shows that the dramatic increase in CEO compensation has a large impact on increasing inequality--worker pay could have doubled without the rise in CEO income.
CEO Compensation Increased 940% Between 1978 and 2018, Workers' Only by 12%

But, greed is good isn't it ?

Please send your thank you letter to former President Bill Clinton for the massive rise in CEO pay.
