  • Tariffs and Wages

    Liberal: We want higher wages!!
    American Business owner: We have to raise our prices to cover the increase in wages
    Consumer: We want cheaper goods!!
    American Business owner: We can't be cheaper because we have to pay our people more
    Foreign Business owner: We can be cheaper because our wages are lower and we have a trade agreement with the US to provide them at a lower cost than US made goods
    Conservatives: Higher wages are causing suppliers to get goods from other nations at a cheaper price. We have to level the field with tariffs.
    Foreign Government: You raise our tariffs and we raise yours!
    Liberals: See? You stupid conservatives are costing US jobs by raising tariffs!

    Simple solution, The government just gives everyone lots of money for free so nobody has to work and then companies can afford to make cheap stuff because they don't have to pay wages! Right?
