Then tariff every countries products? 

Agreed.   At least equal to what they tariff us.   IP is a whole different issue but should be part of the same negotiations.

Tariffs need to be pro rated, ranked on where the goods come from. China may warrant the highest tariff.

Tariffs are the only answer to level the playing field. But corporate greed wont ever let that happen.

This, and the simple fact of why should we give China all our money. Spend it in a country who is not in a position to take that money and become a superpower. That may be too late thou.

One more time my position on tariffs was target certain products not tariff every fucking item.

Also placing the blame on China is fuckin stupid. Corporate American is the problem they are offshoring production.

no it wasn't. Ever.

Dude basically EVERYTHING that we sell in China is tariffed.   On top of that any American company that wants to build a facility there the govt of China must own 51%.   That's without even getting into the stealing of IP.   Picking and choosing a few products won't work.

My 3 year old Vizio 65 inch tv took a shit yesterday.  I think it was a 1080 hd model. Took it to the dump to the recycle area and swung by Walmart this morning.  Picked up a 65 inch 4K uhd lg smart tv for $478 dollars.  Pretty sure it is cheaper by half on what I paid for a less picture quality Vizio 3 years ago.  Not sure how much of the tariff added to the cost.

got offered $1000 dollars more then I paid for my old pickup as well while filling up this morning as well but declined!

 

life is good for 99% of all people despite MC’s doom and gloom.

This is using common sense.  MC needs articles to explain the intricacies to make it look like it is bad.
