Explain the connection between that and the Tariff Act of 1789 and revenue generation of the early republic? Answer: there is no connection.
This used to be called a “Revenue Tariff.”
I am sure this is true but I cannot ever find a reference when I google for it.
Yes let’s just spew bullets everywhere uniformly rather than aiming appropriately sized rounds at targets of strategic value.
Raising revenue with import duties is WAY superior to taxing income(work).
Your post is irrelevant. By your misguided reasoning, the Founder Thomas Jefferson is a traitor because he was a globalist.
OBAMA WARNS AMERICANS About TOO MUCH PATRIOTISM On JULY 4TH WEEKEND!
So Reagan was a a scoundrel & Obama was a patriot, according to your statement. Well then I think perhaps you are the true scoundrel.
You mean like every other country does? The Republican Party was one the very pro tariff conservative party until the globalist Bretton Woods hacks took it over after WWII.
These with free trade agreements would work but tariffs cost money to administer, like all taxes.
You will have politicians using the money left over to provide welfare to dieing industry and workers.
Foolishness. If tariffs were superior taxation, we would have taariffs
We do not for the simple reason Americans do not favor your very narrow misguided views.
You are seriously out of touch with America
Try looking up ‘Chicken Tax’.
There’s a reason Americans can’t buy small, light-duty pickup trucks.
Someone suggesting an embargo could be called an isolationist, but proposing a modest import duty, no. Every founding father was a protectionist! Fighting British mercantilism was the prime motivator for the whole war/rebellion, a fact neo libertarians like to forget.
Just for the record and having nothing to do with the tariff debate, Yesterday I saw a TV ad offering a discount of $14,000 on selected pickups.
Think of thaat. The offered $14,000 discount is the price of a whole truck not so long ago.
Can't LOL
Then allow me to be of assistance. From last March: Want To Sink Detroit Automakers? Make A Trade Deal That Weakens U.S. Tariff Protecting Pickups
Globalist took over the Republican Party. Tariffs are bad for them, the'd rather workers pay and they profit.
No, he went to war to stop pirates from stealing American goods. Well our traders of today act much like the pirates that he went to war with.
Tariffs do not stop trade at all. But when you throw our doors wide open to our trading partners, but they throw up barriers for you, then you must take the bull by the horns and get it under control, or continue to decimate yourself as your trading partners profit.
No one is calling for the cessation of trading, just a fix to the vast imbalance we have given our trading partners for far too long.
If you would open your eyes to the reality of that, then you would see that is the case. President Trump said they can can eliminate our tariffs right now by eliminating their outright refusal of allowing our goods in their marketplace, or in cases where they allow our goods but place tariffs on our products, eliminate those.
Those are the trading conditions you are protecting and demanding we do nothing about it. That has been the policy for far too long, and this country has paid a heavy price as a result. No longer.
I am in favor of the tariff. Raise it higher.
In Iowa, there’s a WHO Radio Tractor Ride every summer. Cross country parade of 500+ classic tractors over three days.
A truck dealer is offering pickup deals with $18,000 off to ride participants. $18,000 OFF!
Drivel, balderdascious drivel.
Pirates stealing cargo was infact the interrruption of the global trade
being carried out by American businesses.
Thomas Jefferson, a founder, was in fact a globalist traitor as defined by tha antibusiness types posting here
