Taxing imports from countries that rely on Third World labour is good for the West's people.
51 years ago I started working and there was a range of jobs open to me that would amaze most people today. I worked in the dress trade where there were 1,000s of companies making clothing. My friends worked in car manufacturing, electronic manufacturing, etc. none of us were highly educated. My Brothers who were Systems Analysts who could write in machine code were also spoilt for choice to get a good job. One ended up building the program that Stock Markets around the world rely on for up to the second pricings.
Now see how many clothes, cars, electronics you own are made in the country you live in.
As for programming. IBM had their European HQ in London, then moved to Brno, now moving to India. This is without the programming done in China.
Where are the jobs we were promised to replace the ones we lost?

As so many countries ban porn, we're pretty safe. Until Tubes hit. Should Dating and Cam sites realise they can get a better job and return with an office of workers in the Third World than bothering with self-employed affiliates. You're job goes.
Not that this will matter. your customer base needs jobs that pay well enough to have enough disposable cash to spend on extras.
And it's getting worse month by month.

A record 94,708,000 Americans were not in the labor force in May -- 664,000 more than in April -- and the labor force participation rate dropped two-tenths of a point to 62.6 percent, near its 38-year low, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday.
When President Obama took office in January 2009, 80,529,000 Americans were not participating in the labor force; since then, 14,179,000 Americans have left the workforce -- some of them retiring and some just quitting because they can't find work
