No, lack of tariffs are non-taxes. When you tax something, you get less of it — largely because you make the cost of producing, distributing, and buying it do down.
Did reducing taxes on American workers last year make pay go up or down? Would raising them, as Democrats want to do, make pay go up or down? It’s the same with tariffs.
And when the tariffs raise the cost of things, the people who support them most loudly will be the first ones to complain.
“When you tax something, you get less of it”
Exactly. We want less circumventing American economy just because some cheap bastards hate their country and don’t want to pay the same price they expect others to pay for their products or services. Cheaters. We want less cheaters.
The 30 year globalist experiment in "Free Trade" is an abject failure. Why? because the rest of the of world didn't play along and used the USA like a cheap whore.
Fortunately globalism and your melodious economic religion are dying. And soon will be relegated to the dustbin of history.
melodious = maliferous. Auto correct is maliferous.
