TRUMP 2016 !
The Boston Globe is reporting that U.S.-based shoe manufacturer New Balance has come out hard against the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. The odd thing, though, is that "the Boston company had gone quiet [on TPP] last year."
Now, apparently, we know why:
New Balance officials say one big reason is that they were told the Department of Defense would give them serious consideration for a contract to outfit recruits with athletic shoes.
But no order has been placed, and New Balance officials say the Pentagon is intentionally delaying any purchase.
New Balance is reviving its fight against the trade deal, which would, in part, gradually phase out tariffs on shoes made in Vietnam. A loss of those tariffs, the company says, would make imports cheaper and jeopardize its factory jobs in New England.
Tariffs on shoes are steep, and New Balance is one of a handful of shoe companies that still manufactures shoes in the United States. (Though, 75 percent of their shoes are made abroad.)
Except free trade will mean lower prices for consumers idiot. Who do you think pays the tarrifs?
I'm ok with shoemakers losing their job in America. Learn to read and get an education instead of making shoes. Otherwise move to a third world country

blah blah blah
A tax imposed on imported goods and services. Tariffs are used to restrict trade, as they increase the price of imported goods and services, making them more expensive to consumers.

This is definitely one of the MOST stupid statements on these forums ever.
You clearly have no idea how tariffs work and who really ends up paying for them. Here's a clue you fucktard:
