So again. Expand your news beyond the right wing propaganda channels. Realize that you are being lied to. No one has been ripping the US off in trade and certainly nowhere near to the figures presented. Well maybe the penguins have been ripping you off.
All I am saying is fair is fair is fair. As I stated. If it were me.
If China is taxing 67% on us. I would, like for like and impose a 67% tax on them.
and down the line I would go.
Fair is fair. That would bring everyone to the table and negociate something fair. For both parties.
China does not have a 67% Tariff on us. We now have a 32%tariff in them. And the rest of the numbers from all the other countries listed are not accurate. Cause I am pretty sure Canada.. had pretty high tariffs as well. I can look them all up and see. And get back to you if you like.
I encourage you to look up the actual tariff rates. Almost all countries use them but they are targeted on specific products not just a blanket. Also the rates are nowhere near those numbers you are quoting. Most are below 10 percent. But again could vary by product
Bottom line is most of the tariffs were set in place after WW2. This a ploy the re negociate the tariffs. To be more fair and balanced for us and not have a huge difference or unbalanced to one side. And I believe we'll overdue. Give me an example of a wrong number
China for ex: stated at 67%
Again targeted tariffs on a particular product with an identified way to remove is a useful tool. This is not that. When inflation hits and job losses mount feel free to come on back. I hope you didn't plan to retire soon since and stock savings you had have been eliminated.
Ok so inform me where your getting your numbers from.
The leftist propaganda hate mongers. Cause that would just prove that your numbers are also wrong. Clearly the right sides numbers will be skewed, in their favor. But the left numbers will also be skewed. So what is one to do.
Oh hey look who backed down from tariffs. Perhaps they were bullshit market manipulation after all. But of course I'm sure you have some excuse for your dear leader and how smart he is
Well I don't watch tv. So there is no right wing propaganda. What you are telling me then is that the number presented are not! infact true. That is what your saying. Soo
You are also correct it is not complicated. Tariffs are a regressive tax placed on the consumer. That means that impacts low income people disproportionately. As the disposable income dries ppl stop purchasing. Business shutdown. People laid off.

It's really not that complicated. You may want it to be. But it's not.

Then look up how these "reciprocal" tariffs were calculated
China for ex: stated at 67%
