How much profit does your hero Donnie/David/John make from having his clothing made in those sweatshops...?

In the previous thread you referred to steel workers as middle class, now you are implying that people-who-sew-clothes are middle class.

It's not the case, these are blue collar, working class jobs.

For some reason you fail to see steel workers as middle class?

They might be at the top of middle class, however clothing, manufacturing, working trades, are all considered blue collar middle class in my opinion.

I would consider minimum wage earners at the bottom of middle class, some in the realm of poverty, depending on the economy where they live.

The Balance:

Current Middle-Class Income Range
What proportion of the 125.8 million U.S. households falls into each income range? The Census Bureau ranges don't coincide exactly with the Pew definitions, but this will give you a general idea.

The table below shows that 32 percent of households are low income. They earn less than $35,000 a year. They fall within Pew's low-income range of $0-$37,866 per year. Within this low-income group are those who live below the federal poverty line. That means 22 percent of all households earn less than $25,000 a year.

Around 42 percent of households are middle class. They earn between $35,000 and $100,000 a year.

A little more than 26 percent of households earn more than $100,000 a year.

That's similar to the Pew high-income group that makes at least $113,032 annually. The Census Bureau considers high-income households to be the 12.3 percent who earn over $150,000.

Most politicians label high-income households as the 6.1 percent who make over $200,000. Both President Obama and President Trump used $200,000 as the minimum for their high-income tax rates.

"blue collar middle class" is an oxymoron. By definition blue collar means working class, as in those that engage in (non agricultural) manual labor. Such as steelworkers, and people that make clothing.

You guys are arguing apples and tire irons.

There are different ways of determining upper, middle and lower class. One is by occupation and the other is by household income level. They do not line up at all.

Well let me ask you then Dave-W, do you think the main impact of tariffs is on the middle class?

I know the middle class has lost 3.4 million jobs to China alone as of 2015, has that hurt the middle class?

Economic Policy Institute:

between 2001 and 2015 cost 3.4 million jobs Here’s how to rebalance trade and rebuild American manufacturing.
Report • By Robert E. Scott • January 31, 2017

There are reasons for China’s large and growing trade surpluses with the United States and the world that go far beyond the free market


China both subsidizes and dumps massive quantities of exports. Specifically it blocks imports, pirates software and technology from foreign producers, manipulates its currency, invests in massive amounts of excess production capacity in a range of basic industries, often through state owned enterprises (SOEs) (investments that lead to dumping), and operates as a refuse lot for carbon and other industrial pollutants. China has also engaged in extensive and sustained currency manipulation over the past two decades, resulting in persistent currency misalignments. Other countries in the region have found it attractive to follow (and difficult to resist following) China’s lead in engaging in currency manipulation, resulting in the region’s large and growing trade surpluses with the United States and the world over the past 15 years.

China’s actions call for direct policy responses

To adequately respond to these threats, Congress and the president should enhance enforcement of fair trade laws and treaty obligations (through anti-dumping, countervailing duty, and WTO case filings) and implement better early warning systems and mechanisms for responding to import surges. The United States should also make Chinese excess production capacity a priority to address in bilateral negotiations as it is this excess capacity that fuels dumping of exports in the United States. In particular, overcapacity should be addressed by reforming state-owned enterprises, barring China from all U.S. government procurement contracts, and prohibiting SOEs from foreign direct investment in U.S. manufacturing or high tech companies. The United States should also consider imposing a border-adjustable carbon fee on imports produced by energy-intensive industries. In addition, World Trade Organization nations should continue to treat China as a nonmarket economy in fair trade enforcement, because granting China market-economy status would curb the ability to impose tariffs on dumped goods and thus allow Chinese companies to undercut domestic production by flooding WTO nation markets with cheap goods. Also, China should not be rewarded for its market distortions with a bilateral investment treaty. Lastly, the United States must maintain currency vigilance and perhaps even consider negotiating a new Plaza Accord to rebalance currencies and global trade.

Kewl story. Does it have anything to do with steel tariffs, or the question I asked Dave?

I don't actually have a problem with the idea that some of China's practises hurt the US middle class, just your specific claim that steel tariffs will help them.

You need to read the article to better understand the issiue, click on the blue link, and your questions will be answered.

China is dumping steel, alumnium, electronics, on the world market intentionally, manipulatuon of currency, subsidizing, to put world producers out of business, and take over sensitive economies that are directly tied to national defense,

Ok, I was wondering how this got to be
about his personal wardrobe. I had no
idea he even sold a clothing line.

Yes, and this is the man who boasts that he makes every effort to preserve American jobs...that ‘Made in America’ should be the guiding principle of US business.

He’s a self-serving hypocrite....but we already knew that in so many other ways...
