Further destruction of the middle class

[Shootin 4 Fun]

So you guys want to limit the choices that consumers have? What if the majority of Americans don't want to pay higher prices for American made goods? I know that I don't want to pay for an RCA TV when the Samsung is much higher quality at a similar price.

No, not limit or outlaw choice, but simply make trade negotiations with foreign countries that favor, or are at least benign to American companies. That is how we did things for many years. It worked.

The only death to wal mart would be a sudden 35% tariff on all imports. **** this free trade.

Why 35%, why not 75%. Walmart makes like a jillion dollars in profit every year. Whats 75% of a jillion? Theyd find a way to sell made in USA stuff pretty quick.

Noway man. I dont qualify as a 99%er. But I dont really qualify as a 1%er either.

Maybe im a negative %er, I never really understood negative numbers anyway. Always thought of them as figments of a financial gurus imagination.

So the cheap goods that many Americans purchase will be increased on price. That will be great for the middle and lower class.
