I will say this. Tariffs make some stuff i buy more expensive. Sometimes i order obscure battery replacements or appliance parts or electrolytic capacitors and other component parts from overseas. however, other nations placing tariffs on the USA does not hurt me because i do not manufacture anything that i am trying to sell overseas.

So personally, i am against tariffs. Someone has to get into debatable macro-economics to try to make a case why i should support them.

Tariffs are protectionism, meaning they help the working class not have their jobs sent overseas. Unless you're an ideologically suicidal lolbertarian or someone who makes their money from rents and fees, you should support them. This means an end to free White workers having to compete on cost with 3rd world shitskins.

I do not manufacture products. What i do is provide work/labor/service. So the tariffs do not impact me as much as say someone who owns a factory making widgets.

So when the factory owner moves production to India to save labor costs, you the individual laborer aren't affected?

Look at it this way. Do White men need to produce every single commodity and widget and Popsicle stick and pez dispenser and box fan and pencil ourselves? Some tasks i'm okay with outsourcing to some dollar a week foreign slave. LOL do you guys want to manufacture Popsicle sticks in a factory all day? Some of these jobs are beneath White people. Some monotonous repetitive task leave to the bug people to do. LOL

Tariffs affect service industry wages as well. If manufacturing declines due to international outsourcing, a greater proportion of the local populace moves into a service/labor type job. That creates a glut of labor supply in those service/labor fields, driving down wages. The same shit happens when you invite 100 million beaners into your country to mow lawns. It's a huge surplus of labor for lawn mowing, so lawn mowing pays dirt.

So… we’ll make them here instead.

>does not hurt me because i do not manufacture anything that i am trying to sell overseas.

You’re taking opposing sides at the same time here.

>So personally, i am against tariffs.

Because you want your country sold down the fucking river to billions of slants and pajeets who make a dollar a day? Because you want your country literally enslaved to the physical production of a foreign nation that now dictates your domestic and foreign policy? Because you’ve already been enslaved to this system your entire life, so you can’t even comprehend a world without it? Much less without income tax?

>Let's do the trade at the same time and I'd be more likely to support them. Remove income tax and property tax, and you can have your tariffs.

Exactly. Purposely doing them separately is a trick to enslave whites even more.

>to poison their groundwater and air

THAT’S OUR FUCKING LAND. THE WORLD BELONGS TO US.

You make some good arguments. I listen to Ron Paul liberty report enough to know it's just one more way to tax White people for goods.

But i'm at Consume Product because i don't consume much shit. So it isn't going to impact me as much as SpendAholics who can't help but CONSOOOOOOOOOOM More Products even with a hefty tarriff tax on top.

Also, admit it. There's some widgets that are so monotonous and repetitive that it's insulting to make the argument that White people should be manufacturing Popsicle sticks when we can pay some bug people a dollar a month to do it instead. I can pick my own cotton, but there's only so many hours in a day.

Libertarianism is a disease. Laissez faire *domestic* economic policy and protectionist *foreign* economic policy are the only way to run a stable country. “Free market for the whole world” is literally white genocide. You really want to whine about “more taxes” by defending whites in the face of literally what we’ve seen for the last 80 years?

>There's some widgets that are so monotonous and repetitive that it's insulting to make the argument that White people should be manufacturing Popsicle sticks

We make machines for that. That’s why we’re white.

This is CONSUME PRODUCT, where we encourage each other not to CONSUME a bunch of useless shit, such as your chinese imported crap. Now you guys are whining you might have to pay a slightly higher price on imported chinese shit? So you admit you've been CONSUMING foreign goods up to this point?

This is a throw away culture. People throw shit away sometimes when it just needs a new fuse or an easily replaceable maintenance part.

The democrats are going to need to pay slightly more for their imported grill that rusts by the end of every summer? Or slightly more for their imported cellphone that they stare at all day? Or the faggots will have to pay more for the rainbow flags they import from thailand or wherever the fuck?

You want me to get mad about having to pay an extra 10-20% of shit i already don't buy.

Go into any democrat city on trash pick-up day. People are throwing away all kinds of shit that third worlders would fight
 over. Make the fuckers pay for their CONSUMPTION addiction.

I understand the mainstream fox news right wing talking points. USA is getting screwed by tariffs on our exports, tarriffs will bring manufacturing back, etc. Frankly, there's some factory work producing widgets that i don't want any fucking part of. Why are you guys opposed to foreign slave bug people producing some of your shit for you? Let some chink produce the LED bulbs that i solder on to a circuit board. Or don't.

I don't have enough skin in the game. I do not produce anything that i am trying to export to foreign nations. Nor do i consume much shit from foreign nations. I sometimes buy something on ebay or scAmazon that probably came from china. but i could have just gone to the thrift store or to a yard sale and found something usable.

First statement you are against Tariffs because they dont affect you. Now you're arguing for tariffs and punishing the consumption. Make up your damn mind. I agree tariffs are good and people dont need half the shit they buy.

you're right. I'm not making a good argument one way or the other. I think i am indecisive and i'm not quite sure how the tariffs will affect me yet. In principle i am against them. But i think some of the arguments how this might be an effective strategy in reducing tariffs on USA manufactured goods might be a good long term strategy.

As someone who went to college and learned about business, economics, finance, and accounting. Got a Bachelor of business administration degree, majoring in accounting. Am presently an accountant. I'll preface what I'm about to say in that my teachers hated that I saw through the lies they taught, yet they couldn't challenge the facts I presented in various assignments and research papers. They wanted us all to obey the mantra that globalism and international free trade are amazing good things.

The tariffs are only a problem for the top 0.1% rich people trying to maximize the amount of money they can gain. Those are the only ones who benefit from international free trade. For the actual people living within the first world country free trade is only harmful. Yet it can be portrayed as beneficial as the cost of goods produced do decrease, however the reduction in local real jobs is harmful.

Tariff's damage international free trade and encourages internal production. Costs go up, but the money being spent remains in the local economy instead of leaving. Driving further economic local growth.

Trump is really using them as a negotiating tactic, however in honesty, placing tariffs on all imports is beneficial for the local economy. Whether that local economy is being talked about as the US, Canada, Britain, or any other western nation that has actual production capacity.
