Yes, tariffs are hated by most, but they are a great leveling tool and it's really quite simple even the left can understand this!

Great article! Since it's been a one way street with other nations imposing tariffs on our goods imported into their countries, the imposition of tariffs on their goods can provide us a negotiating tool for a more fair trade balance. I posted a video to that effect.

Those items could be a major manufacturing employer in the US. <br />It is all about profits for those selling these products.<br />At least we have lawns to mow for a buck and crops to pick.

Many foreign manufacturers have a lower cost of living and a lower wage level than the US. So we end up with US based companies & retailers importing foreign products. <br />Hard for the US to compete in manufacturing our own products when the cost of living and wages are higher than most other nations.<br />So we end up imposing tariffs to balance the playing field.
