The Founders imposed tariffs and the United States grew to a world dominating industrial giant behind high tariff walls.

Without tariffs the USA would have missed the industrial revolution. The consequences of which would be enormous. Without the USA's industrial might Hitler's Germany would rule have the Europe and the middle east and Imperial Japan both Asia and Australia..

This is the silliest thing I've seen in a long time regarding trade. We cut tariffs down to almost nothing in the 40s and we did just fine technologically until the liberals over-expanded government in the late 60s.
