If you want to pay more taxes, that’s fine. But businesses can see it is a more friendlier atmosphere in countries that have low business taxes and less regulations.

Your simplistic arguments have all been heard before. Tariffs are only on imported manufactured goods and are optional taxes. If you don't buy then you don't pay. This is in contrast to income taxes which are mandatory, under penalty of imprisonment. Consumption based taxes like tariffs are better than confiscatory taxes.

The unsophisticated argument of Free Traitors™ astounds me. Third grade logic IMO. Trade is as much political as it is economic and has been so since 2000 BC.
