Good luck for these companies who can find supply chain in other country. Literally no other country can offer all the supply chain necessary for manufacturing, no other country offers infrastructures comparable to China.
Supply chains, infrastructures, talents pools aren’t built overnight. It is extremely complicated to relocate into other country to find all necessary supply chain, necessary infrastructures, capable labors that manufacturers things.
It is laughable for all of you think China is doomed and America will win.
Also, what is the point for this? Even if all companies can move out from China, they aren’t going back to United States of American. The very same people who yelling at punishing China will still be unemployed. Manufacturers and low skill jobs aren’t coming back.
yes they also provide a lot of jobs in many countries with those tariffs. If they dont make enough money how are they suppose to pay all their employees
You are most welcome.
By swallowing their pride and paying the cost with their obnoxiously huge margins. Not to mention they support the unfair conditions in those countries by hiring people in those countries in the first place.
Amazing that conservatives want to raise taxes on hard-working Americans.

If not China, it will be elsewhereZ when China fails, you guys will point fingers to other country and this cycle repeats.
You guys have to short of memory. In 60s and 70s, Japan is the enemy. The Japanese products were inferior and they are killing American companies. Then it is China. Who will be the next.
You really think these manufacturing job will stay inside United States? The very same people who yelling at this moment is the very same people who believe maximize shareholders return. Well, all the manufacturing companies did exactly that. Now they are crying about losing their job.
Why would we put up with getting cheated?
At least Trump has the guts to say enough cheating is enough. We've had it with the ongoing cheating for years which other leaders didn't seem care about

You didn't answer my question. Why should corporations be taxed?
Corporations should not pay any tax at all. Corporations create jobs and all the net profit that they make should be distributed to the shareholders as dividend. The employees, who get paid salaries by the corporations, and the shareholders, who get dividend, should pay the taxes.
Corporations are nothing other than wealth creating machines. You don't want to cripple the goose that lays golden eggs. Fortunately, anyone can become a shareholder of any corporation. As a shareholder, get paid your dividend and then be taxed on it.
I think the problem is that in the US, corporations are allowed to be publicly traded without paying out dividend. If we had a law stating that publicly traded corporations must pay dividend, the stock would be valued based on the percentage of the profit paid to shareholders as dividend. Therefore, the more dividend a corporation pays, the higher its shares would be valued. The corporations would then be incentivized to pay higher dividend instead of stashing the profits in the bank like what Apple is doing. The more dividend a corporation would pay out, the more shareholders would get paid, and the more the government would get via tax on the shareholders' dividend.

Lol “hang on Americans” was the exact same thing Obama was telling us. The only difference is that Trump’s got the ballz to do somethin bout it
Yes they are similar to you because you make and exchange US $'s and get more in Canadian dollars.
#1 Canadian average salaries approx. the same as Americans but in Canadian dollars:
"According to the website numbeo.com, the average income of an American and a Canadian are approximately the same amount. Canada's after-tax monthly income is about $3,000 which totals around $36,000 per year. The U.S. sits just below Canada at approximately $2,942 per month, or roughly $35,300 per year.
Food is much more costly in Canada. One kilogram of chicken breasts costs around $6.50 in the United States, while it averages almost $11 in Canada. A mid-range, three-course meal for two in Canada ends up costing $60. In the U.S. you are only paying about $44. Finally, clothing is more expensive in Canada than in the United States. A $40 pair of Levi's jeans in the States will run you about $55 in Canada."
Canadians pay more income tax than most American's. Pay more sales tax then every american I believe, lowest provincial sales tax is 12%. Exchange rate like +30% right now. So the purchasing power isn't similar.
There are also plenty of medical bills we have to pay for as well the only thing that is paid for is doctor visits and operations. Dental, physio, chiro, therapy etc you have to pay for or have benefits that pay for a portion of it through work. I'm not going to family doctor or getting an operation on the daily so it's not exactly a costs savings.
I'm not going to comment on Australia and other countries because I have no idea.
But throwing our economy into a recession isn't worth it. There has to be a better way to solve this issue.
Thanks for the tax increase, I feel less bent over already.
Lol the liberal media that you watch and all the dems are leading you astray. It is no where near as bad as what they’re saying. My uncle owns a furniture store and he said there has been zero affect. He said most of his suppliers just moved their businesses to Vietnam and costs didn’t go up a single penny. I work IT for a public school district and we have switched to suppliers in TEXAS that give us higher quality products for lower costs. Consumers are freaking out saying “end of world, death to trump” while businesses are saying “well, guess we’ll just go somewhere else. Done.”
Tariff 101, the exporter nation does not pay the tariff, the importer nation does. You pay your own tariff.
