Do you favor Drumpf's tariffs? [View all]

IMHO, it is a tax on the poor and the working class as they spend more of their income. If Drumpf is going to do that he should increase the Earned Income Tax refund.

Trade is always a contentious issue that demagogues of all political bents exploit.

The goal should be to avoid a race to the bottom without eliminating healthy competition. The U S can compete with anybody and win.
