Of course, the same could be said about adding them all at once.

I am personally opposed to excessively high, protectionist, targetted tariffs. As with any policy advocated by special interests, they distort the market for the benefit of some, and to the detriment of others.

Instead, my preference is for a relatively low, flat-rate "revenue tariff" to be levied on ALL imported goods (as envisioned by our Founding Fathers). Such a tariff benefits ALL Americans by favoring development of domestic industries in our own market, while providing revenue for the federal Treasury and enabling further reduction of other forms of domestic taxation.

I'm sorry. I'm a little slow myself this morning.

I didn't catch the funny oxymoron you made till just now.

What is a "revenue tariff" and how would it work?
