BL> In fact tariffs do not cost money, they save money.

Pigs arse they do, you bludgers just get your snouts in the trough
and end up wallowing in it. Soorree, we got sick of paying for it.

BL> Import-replacement products create
BL> jobs, wealth, lower taxes, and technology

Pigs arse it does. What ACTUALLY happens is the you buggers just
loll on your feather beds and we get to pay for that. No thanks.

BL> that bleeds into things like the design of Collins
BL> subs (rather than buy the bloody design from Germany).

Just because we have a protected TV industry with clowns like you producing
the worst TV the first world has ever seen ?  Pull the other one Bob.

BL> No tariff protection, dickhead... a small Oz manufacturer
BL> being sent to the wall by a large Japanese corporation.
BL> Our capital investment became worthless.

PE> I bet the end result is that we have as cheap
PE> R/C's as we can get by local manufacture.

BL> You lose.

Pigs arse he does. We got sick of funding you parasites Bob. Its that simple.

BL> Pricing history is interesting, seen recently in TV... and RAM.

Yeah, we ripped your feather bed away, we got decent prices
for TVs. Fine by us Bob, too bad if you end up on your arse
on the ground once we rip your feather bed out from under you.
Stiff shit for you, you doing get to parasite any longer.

BL> First, the price is high ($400). Foreign competition dumps on the market
BL> at $300 and the locals trim the fat to match it. Then the imports hit
BL> $200 and locals drop off. Then the price returns to $300, and over time
BL> to $600... or whatever the market will bear, or can be imported from a
BL> less cost-efficient country than the one who destroyed the local market.

Soorree, we have heard this pathetic line of bullshit over and over
again, and we noticed what a complete and utter line of bullshit it
was. Clowns like you ended up on your bum on the ground. Fine by me.

You cant make a go of it, you dont get protection to hide behind.

The rest of this mindless pathetic tripe binned. Fools no one Bob.
