> >how will tariffs fundamentally bring manufacturing back to the us? without tarrifs, you can't compete with near slave labor, $5 / day , in china and se asia. there is a single capitalist that wont kill for 1000% profit margins that a capitailst would get if he uses near slave labor in se asia or china.  as you implement tarrifs (us and all european countries have tarrifs already) , you do 2 things:  > balance inability of your own labor to compete with se asian near slave labor  > stop capitalist from making 1000% profits, which would make any capitalist to try and exploit > why would suppliers be willing to take the risk to relocate back to the us? > risk  there isn't any risk, us is the largest market in the world. capitalists everywhere want to sell their crap here. "willing" and "risk" are 2 retarded claims when a company is looking to maximize profits and for the largest market. us is the largest market.  > if the us cannot compete with the output prices of foreign manufactured goods, nobody in the 1st world can compete with near slave se asian labor that pays $5/day.
