GE made billions in profits in 2010 but didn't pay any taxes on it because the head of GE donated millions to Obama's campaign. Their profits are well known. If they hid them, they did a very poor job. Tariffs stifle trade and cost the consumer. Other nations, playing tit-for-tat, would place tariffs on our exports. So there is not a benefit in the long run.Once again re read what I typed. I never said bartenders should make decisions. What I'm talking about is investigating fraud. There used to be a bartender in my city who could get you info on just about anyone you asked. That's all my line of thinking is. Don't take it personal, maybe it's a bad idea. I'm not a policy maker, I'm just a guy with a keyboard and an opinion. As far as red goes if you don't believe corporations are hiding money I would love to sell you a bridge in brooklyn. Tell me again why GE made billions in profits in 2010 but didn't pay any taxes on it? Why is that fair to you or I or a medium sized business owner or a small business owner? Tariffs is one way to try and level out some of that playing field on trade deficit. Now make an assumption that I don't know what a tariff is.
