YOu have it all wrong. No Tariff is needed, only the will of the people. Recognize that it takes the same labor here to produce the same volume of product there: Boy Scout shirts. OK. It takes the same equipment, the same consumption of energy, etc.
Do the math: Lets assume a shirt maker anywhere with the same tools will make 200 shirts per day. In China, the cost is $0.80 per day. In the US the labor is about $120/day. In addition, additional costs for better accommodations, insurance will run about $80/day. Double that for overhead costs of the company. The differential per shirt is then $2.00 Dollars. And think of the Cotton mill jobs that would be gained!
Are the Boy Scouts of America not willing to pay $2.00 per shirt more for products made in the United States of America. This is just and example of our declining nationalistic spirit in the United States of America. Shame on the Scouts... Companies do not send work offshore, the population does with their buying habits.
