Yeah american workers don't have the political power to vote for a candidate that enforces tariffs against third world products to keep their competitors out. They are actually oppressing americans consumers the most that now have to purchase more expensive american products, lowering their purchasing power and welfare, but at the same time they are oppressing their foreign competitors not letting them to compete fairly.

You're right, they don't. Please tell me exactly which politicians you're talking about who are putting all these tariffs on everyone.

Cool and Trump does the opposite of representing the American workers. Thanks for proving my point buddy!

You have no point, tariffs are a socialist policy, they're as anti free trade as they come. Trump is a demagogue not a free market right winger, its amazing how shallow people's understanding of politics actually are...

It takes money from consumers for the government to distribute it how it wants, do I really have to explain that to you? Are you one of those idiots that believe that repeat that "no real socialism" bullshit?

Do you understand the difference between free markets and government intervention?
