> remove competition altogether no, hes adding a 200% tariff. lets say the $200 ratchet has 10% sales tax. thats $20 a ratchet that the government makes. now lets say taiwan has a 200% tariff added to their $14 ratchet. thats $28 a ratchet that the government makes, and the price of a foreign ratchet is still under the cost of american ratchets, and the americans get to keep their income tax that wouldve been taken for working at the ratchet factory, and the money their government is spending is going to be federally audited. do you not see how this is objectively a win over letting foreign countries dump their products here with slave labor prices, and our companies are incentivized to move over there and engage in the same practices?
