In the news this week Ron Paul came out against Tariffs.

What I want to discuss is there place for tariffs in this new global economy.
My thoughts are this, don't put tariffs on goods of any nations that have 1st world living conditions, so none on places like Canada or the UK or Germany places that pay there workers good benefits and fair wages. However that changes for me if the products are from nations that have poor wages and benefits for example Mexico, China and India. I am all for free markets, but is the playing field equal if a worker is forced to work 7 days a week 12 hours a day for $1/hr building cheap whatever?

I guess this is one area I disagree with both Trump and Ron, tariffs need only to create a level playing field, not punish a nation that pays there people good wages but maybe just does it better, in capitalism America will win some of those but it might lose some too, and that's ok.

But if Trump can stop factories from leaving America and setting up in Mexico/China/India that is a good thing.

Oh My does that make Ron Paul a globalist
