So another “tariff” tax for Americans lol.
Technically yes, but if it keeps jobs in America it’s a much more worthwhile one.
The way it was done is ridiculous though. I’d rather have it stay the same than this crap. Having a fee so companies can’t just outsource for cheaper labor is probably what’s been needed for a while though. $100k is too much and is basically never going to be worth it. And having it apply to everyone instantly is stupid as well.
Making it harder for people to move to the US to work is not going to keep jobs in America. It means companies are more likely to hire foreign talent as remote workers instead.
It’s not a zero sum game. If you make the workforce more expensive guess what, your products gets more expensive, and thus less competitive so you’ll export less and the cycle continues. The production of competitive items will just shift to another country, and if you try to block that (say more tariffs) from coming to the USA, bravo you played yourselves and only now have access to inferior products.
Yea I suppose, but if they pay Americans a fair rate instead of immigrants dirt rates, that tax will be less and Americans on average will have slightly more money.
