Business owners worked in more than 20 industries. There’s a 6% margin of error for business owners and 4.5% for investors.”
Shut it all down! Besides illegals working on farms, trade with China is the loss of our middle class.
As you can see now it has zero effect and if we make the tariffs high enough our greedy US corporations will need to move back home and be Americans once gain. Once they’re back here when they export goods to China then
we will have actual trade with China. Gotta love those democrats siding with greed!
