EDWARD SCHWEIKERT: A plan to save U.S. jobs

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Trade wars and tariffs are unnecessary

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Edward Schweikert

If you believe Trump’s idea will save American jobs, listen to mine. A business maintains its headquarters in America, its production plant in China, and its taxable assets in Switzerland.

How does my plan work?

If a business locates its headquarters in the United States, we will protect your property because your employees pay taxes to our government and we must assure the employees’ safety, jobs and income.

If your production plant sits in China and gangs demand protection money, your business takes its complaints to China’s government and asks for government security.

If the business believes the China government is not providing sufficient protection, the company takes its concern to the Swiss government and demands their government protect your property. If they fail to provide security, you threaten to move your “liquid assets” to another country.

No need to consider trade wars or its repercussions from tariffs.
