So find graphics that prove your point.

The West imports far too much from the Third World and sells too little. So the West needs to get together to work towards balancing trade. Not just with China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, etc.

To make it even worse, the West imports far too much cheap labour, Eastern Europe and South and Mid Americas. Taking jobs from native workers, lowering tax revenues, sending money home and raising benefits.

All this goes on courtesy of the 1% who profit enormously from it. They spin that they bring wealth to us. Truth is they take it away and then rely on us to buy their goods. The comment about Nike shares was right. If Nike Products, and other such imported goods, were taxed 5% at the port. Their shares and the company would lose a bit and the 1% would lose out. Who here would suffer?

The debt would lower year by year.

And yet people blame the Government. That's being run by the 1%. Which includes Trump.
