Free Trade

I believe in Free Trade, but also moderation in all things.  

Tariffs that protect businesses that are critical to the security of our country are essential. 

Foreign countries like China charge a 6.5% tariff, but also a 19% value add tax to sell products in their country. The US historically only charged 6.5%.  

Foreign Business compete in our country by paying a 6.5% tariff (tax), but Domestic Businesses, that create jobs for Americans, must pay far more in taxes, like:

1. Federal & State income/profits
2. Employee Retirement (Social Security 7.5%)
3. Employee Workers Comp Insurance (7-25%)
4. Unemployment Insurance
5. Property Tax
6. School District Tax
7. Vehicle / Road Tax
8. Sales Tax  
9. & much more.

No wonder all the jobs are going over seas, and China is over taking the US as the worlds most powerful economy.
