I said that higher tariffs are usually indicative of a country getting poorer because third world countries have the highest tariffs in place. I’m not so sure that you really understand what a third world country is. It just means that a country’s wealth distribution has become lopsided to the point where at least 2/3 of its population live in poverty. So yeah, I’d probably leave Russia and China up on that list.I don’t align myself with either political party. Both parties are in bed with the same corporations who give them both generous “campaign contributions“ I.e. legalized bribery. Both parties are corrupt and both are only interested in keeping the working class in this country down economically. We elect these politicians to represent us but since lobbyists are allowed to roam the capitol steps and offer these bribes to our lawmakers, they are no longer representing the very people who elected them. The policies they put in place don’t have any concern for the taxpayers/working class, but they sure love to make us pay for them. This whole left vs. right crap that the media loves to hype up is really just a means to distract us while they both rob us blind. A divided country is less likely to stand up to an oppressive government. They know this, that’s why they want to keep us fighting with each other. The middle class that made up the majority of the country after WWII has all but eroded away. We as the working class need to take it back.</blockquote>
