Section 232 the maddest way to sure up your own industries because the world is reliant on each other now to succeed. It’s blinkered and it’s another short sighted way to do business. Maybe the whole world should impose a 25% tarrif on all imports. Think of the revenue!!

Something for nothing - you tax the rich too hard the rich Go. Then you have no more money at all. Corbyn think before you act. Those who want extra money Work for it. Try harder. Create your OWN business.
