The economists who engineer the vast financial super structure that delivers routine market crashes want to “educate” President Trump about the “danger” of tariffs. Yes, the elite class that loves the globalism that sends American businesses chasing cheap labor around the world. But this cheap labor is slave labor, which has gutted the American working class and is sucker punching the middle class, and forces us all to be complicit in a new version of the old, ugly peculiar institution.
Thinking about tariffs and modern slavery, I am thrilled by the President’s announcement of reciprocal 10% tariffs. I suggested that to several friends recently. But I wish the President would do the same for all countries with whom we trade, even China.
Hold on. I have a caveat. Impose an additional 5% tax on every product made by slaves. When the goods arrive in the US, impose 5% per item on the businesses that imported the products, AND a 5% tax for the consumer at checkout, with a receipt stating: This Product Made by Slaves. No more hiding from the truth. No more taking a knee while wearing apparel made by slaves. No more dividing kids into opressed and opressors. Now that you know, if you buy that stuff, you're an oppressor.
All of a sudden, an American family of four might not need 40-50 pairs of cheap, baggy jeans and 150 t-shirts.
So, get on the job Congress. Devise the tax laws and regulations that will bring back business. Make computer programs that will track the products - including every component of each - and the money raised, and where it all went. Manufacturers, craft US products like jeans that fit so well, we don't want ten. Everyone keep pictures of real slaves in your office, at home, in the car.
Freeing slaves won’t be easy, but a country obsessed with past sins needs real solutions, not DEI gestures that foster division while the living, breathing slaves sweat and the elites cash in. Let's break the chains.
