Basically tarifing starts a trade war and free trade demolishes industries. However, I think free trade is the *direction* to move, rather than tariffing. BTW, if we did move to tariffing the arbitrage blackmarkets would be larger than Russia's. All that would happen is you'd create 2 economies: the legal one, and the illegal one. Put another way, most of us on this list don't want to buy illegal drugs because we don't use them and/or are morally against them. However if we did want them we all know where to go. Now think if there were products we wanted AND knew where to go to get them cheap. The black market would be something to behold. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:175357 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
