By the time we unshackle the manufacturing sector, it will be a fetid corpse thanks to the Free Traitors.....
The country was a different place then, with different needs, and I’ll not judge Mr. Washington or any Founder too hard. Even Hamilton and Jefferson deserve a break.
My question to you, and I do want to understand it because I don’t agree with your position, is how do you manage the harm caused by tariffs to some and the bonus tariffs are to others? I am sincere and hope you can explain yourself.
I’d love to get rid of the income tax, reduce the size of government, et. al. What I don’t want is to make an already bad situation worse.
Here’s an example, from Pres. Washinton’s time of how tariffs cause harm, political as well as economic:

Note that it’s from your link, just a little further down the page.
Having no legs, that’s pretty much a given.
