One
question: how the hell did we, the United States, get to be the bad guy, the a**holes,
as far as tariffs go? After all, we've been virtually supporting the rest of
the bleeping world for decades. How are we in the wrong for imposing the same--
or even half of-- the tariffs other countries impose on us? How are we supposed
to compete with countries that not only tariff us but subsidize their own
companies and industries, as well? It is about bleeping time we leveled
the playing field.
This
is as if the US hockey team had been playing every game against international
competition with only four skaters to the other side's 5, and, in some cases,
only three skaters to the other sides five. And then when things were finally
evened up at 5 on five, yes 5 apiece, everybody was pissed at us, including
many so-called Americans! This is beyond ludicrous! It is insanity! Doesn’t
everybody, especially progressives, like ‘fairness” and ‘equity?’
Russia
and Canada are much larger, physically, than the United States, with vast
resources. China and India have many times our population. Someone tell me how
the hell it is ‘fair’ that America gets singled out as the one nation on earth
that must play by different rules! Neither we, nor anyone else, should be
punished for being more productive and efficient—i.e. better-- than anyone
else.
The
rest of the world can go to hell if they are going to react like this. Have fun
without the U.S. Just know we didn’t ask for this, you did.
So,
EU, Canada, et. al., put that in your cheap Chinese-made pipes and smoke it. I
bet you'll be using American Tobacco.
