Someone had said to me that America grew like a weed on steroids because of tariffs, I was mainly trying to point out that government growth did not equate to national growth and I merely used his own words to make my point. I wasn't trying to say that either tariffs or income taxes were responsible for more government growth, because ultimately, both are taxes on the American people. One on the producer and the other on the consumer of imported goods.
