Would that be what your advocating when you say we should let a company do what it needs to compete?
I would think dollar for dollar trade tariffs would help the competition.
Now Nike could always refuse to do business with that company, but, ya know that might hurt the bottom line  |
I was advocating nothing--just pointing out some economic realities.
Tariff are nothing but taxes on your own people to make them pay more for imported goods.
Anything we do to the economy has repercussions. Sometimes, it seems that governments think they operate in a vacuum. They do not. You make it prohibitive to make Nike shoes here, they move the factory and the jobs to where they can operate.
