The crap in those dollar stores ain't worth forty cents. If even that. I'm all for punitive tariffs when the countries try to dump their junk in our marketplace especially when it hurts our domestic workers and producers. Mainland China is one of the worst in how they treat their own workers. Stringing nets outside of the dormitory buildings to catch the suicide jumpers was one of the craziest things I've seen reported lately.

If you really want to reduce Chinese imports it is quite simple, stay out of wally world and buy American, Canadian or British. Also do what we do, ask the store people in a loud voice "Is this Chinese crap all you have, don't you stock any American products?"

One Chinese import I woul like to see gone are iPhones and iPads. I see now that Apple has a "mail drop" office in the back hall of a building in Vegas. Using that ruse they screw the feds out of a fortune in taxes.
