The worker who still has a job might be better off... As an IT professional
I watched many jobs be outsourced to India and some to Russia in the past 20 years. That didn't help the US IT workers. I saw the same thing with engineering in industry. GM liked sending engineering jobs to Mexico where an engineer cost 20 percent of what they did in the US. Then the Mexican engineers saw that if they could come to the US they could make many times what they make in Mexico. Meanwhile the un or under employed IT workers and engineers are not going to buy the ever increasingly expensive cars.

If corporations paid zero tax would that not be good. If they paid 100 percent taxes why would they bother being in business. The goal of business is to make money and build shareholder equity. As a business man I think Trump understands this much better than the average lawyer in congress. The debate comes down to what are the best mechanisms to get the desired results. This is where those who dislike tariffs don't want tariffs. Consumers/spenders pay for everything a successful business does other than growth investments, equity, that the business owns. Same as taxpayers pay for everything the government has or does outside of the money it borrows in our name.

What a Trump is really trying to do is level and create a fair marketplace. Some will say he is in fact distorting the free marketplace. But let's say that every other country can produce better steel for less money than the US. Would we be smart to not make any steel here and depend only on others? Some would argue yes, we should focus on other things. I would argue no because steel is important as a part of our country's defense readiness.
Bottom line is these are very complex issues and there are no easy answers. But China especially has been ripping us off for years thanks to the g*******t and our own leaders.

I don't think there is much that you can do, short of invading these countries or blockading them. Many people tend to think that because the U.S. is so powerful, we can just make the rest of the World do what we want. We've gotten too used to our enormous influence. We can only trade with those who are willing.

Think of this scenario:

Two ten year-old boys are trading baseball cards, the same way countries trade products. Johnny has three Minnie Minoso cards (this will show you how old I am!) and Bobby has four Joe Nuxhall cards (anybody remember this guy?). Johnny says "I'll give you two Minnie Minoso cards for one Nuxhall card" and Bobby says "No." Then Johnny offers three Minoso cards and a pack of gum for one Nuxhall card. Bobby just says "No" and walks away. Both boys are no richer than they were before, but what can Johnny do? It is a free country so Johnny cannot force him, unless he wants to just go beat him up and take his cards.

In the case of America vs. China, both countries suffer economically by imposing tariffs on one another, or by reducing trade by any means. The big difference is that China is c*******t; they can make their people do wh**ever they want in regards to trade. We have e******ns, so any leader cannot get away with forcing people against their will for very long. There may be ways other than tariffs, of influencing Chinese behavior when it comes to the stealing of intellectual property, but that is not a trade issue, that is a copyright issue. You can only punish a country with trade if you are willing to punish your own country as well, and that doesn't make much sense to me.
