  Okay, but why is that specific to the middle class?

  Also, wouldn’t it make sense to tarrif all the businesses who are using other countries for cheap labor?

    What good do tarrifs do towards companies if they pass that on to consumers? When will that price ever touch their wallets? Its not specific to the middle class, the poor will also be eradicated. I just thought I’d mention we’re heading towards a shit ass society where you are either poor or rich. Theres no in between, theres no comfort, theres just a boot stomping on the face of humanity forever.

      Well it should hit them in the wallet when people choose not to buy that thing because there’s something better at the same price here.
