Our Founders set them up to finance the government solely. If they could do it in those times, we should be able to do it today confuses tariffs then used for revenue and the issue today, tariffs used for economic protection. Two different animals.

Tariffs should be at least as high as the combined cost of taxes and unnecessary regulations are to businesses that stay in the US.

Jim, I agree. I also support both in rare instances.

We have 45 million people sitting on their ass today, due in no small part to illegal immigration and destructive trade.

That does not change the fact that there is ALWAYS a place for tariffs, even in otherwise normal times.

So tariffs are not inherently evil, and in situations like we have today, they are a tool that can be used to bring things back into line fast.

I’m all for it.
