If Trump brings back jobs or taxes imports. The price of those goods would rise by a big chunk.

If Walmart, MacDonalds, JC Penny were forced to pay a living wage without Government subsidies. People would have to pay an extra 10 cents for a burger, $1 for a T-Shirt. The truth is the customers don't care if the guy serving the burger is on the breadline, or the shirt was made in the US, they reject workers getting taxpayer support and only interested in how cheap the burger or shirt is.

Until their job goes.
