A day late and a dollar short, but I think your comment is deserving of more discussion.

> the best hope is for a reduced profit margin for XYZ

When you consider the corporate cash that is piling up and the massive compensation packages received by board members and upper management you would think that these would be prominent in the discussion. But somehow it has become ingrained into the culture that it is bad or perhaps impossible to address this part of the equation let alone even discuss it and so it goes virtually ignored just like your comment. The issues with income inequality and stagnating or declining middle class incomes and wealth is not caused by China, it is caused by the massive imbalance in the trade consumers engage in when they trade their labor for the products sold by corporations.


The op almost gets it but misses the mark...
> The widgets are then imported and sold for $100 each with a 20% profit margin.

The profit margins are many times more than 20% and while it is difficult to extract actual values it is possible to get close. Here is a recent example I encountered. Virtually all transmission and motor mounts sold in auto parts stores are made in China and I was recently in need of a transmission mount.


At the local parts store the Chinese part is $93.99.

But the same Chinese part can be had from a shop in L.A. for $21.50 with free shipping.


Now who knows what the distributor in L.A. is making in profits but even if the local store was buying from the L.A. shop themselves instead of buying direct from China then their markup is over 300%.


I have purchased other parts directly from China, which results in some very long lead times, and the markups at local and other online retailers is even higher.

The point of all this, when jobs are off-shored there is often the claim that it makes the cost of living for the middle class lower because savings can be passed on to the consumer. But nobody is checking and it sure looks like in many cases the middle class is still paying what they would if the parts were manufactured here in the States and the difference is going into the pockets of a few.

So we have all these comments about the coming inflation because the cost of everything will go up to cover the increase in labor costs and here sits your comment that touches on that taboo, cut the massive out of control profiteering that is the real cause of income inequality. Of course there isn't much that Trump can do to address this, it is going to require that the working class start using their own power in the market place to get a fair trade for their own labor.
