As much as people may not like it, we, as Americans, benefit greatly from getting lots of goods cheap from other countries.

Large import taxes make businesses not want to do business here, and the goods you do want will be more expensive.

That's part of it.

I was trying g to get at the idea that even the pen you use to fill out order procruemwnts are even made in China.

Just like how the left attacked Trump merchandise, shit is mostly made outside the US and if it isn't, a portion still does come from else where.

Right, to think that we can cut ourselves off from the world is fine, as long as we're willing to be 20 to 30 years backward like North Korea. That sounds extreme, but that's literally what happened to them.
