Tariffs and sky high audio prices.

Well, the topic at hand is our tariff policies with China. It has, however, morphed into a conversation about the general overall corruption in our government. Corruption exists on both sides of the aisle. Is there anyone here who would disagree with that?

In reading the posts here, I think we are all pretty much on the same page. How we see the solution is the problem. I take more of a liberal stance ... in the Jeffersonian sense, that is.

It has been said: ... "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." With that in mind, why would any liberty devotee want to increase the power of the central government and take power away from the states in order to do so?

PS: ghasley ... Once again, I appreciate your well thought out posts. Excellent, thank you.

Frank, they will delete this thread if we go into the details of power distribution and political structures. What you quoted regarding power was already known to African Homo Sapience hundreds of thousands years ago.

Hey! You callin’ me a homo sapien? I don’t swing that way. *lol*

Let’s not delete this thread.

On audio equipment made in China ... Yes, the prices will increase. Tariffs are basically a VAT tax on the end consumer. Let’s hope for an even-steven trade policy where citizens of both countries benefit. I’m sure the citizens of China would like to be driving Chevrolets and Ford’s made with American steel.

Can we try to keep the topic related to  Audio again? Please. 

Well, there goes the neighborhood. 😄

But, in keeping within the parameters of the topic, the price of audio from China as it relates to tariffs, I can't wait for some sanity to somehow creep back into the minds of those who understand American tariff laws and how they are legally enacted, as a countervailing force to the imbecilic and illegal way it's been recently done.

All of this is a made up crisis, our economy be damned. 

All the best,
