Tariffs were once the sole source of revenue for this country until they came up with the income tax scam.

With that being said, elimination of tariffs on both sides will benefit all companies in the countries they represent..........

I’m not convinced.

If, as we are told, tariffs are actually a tax upon the American people, I’d rather pay that tax than pay income taxes. That way everyone pays their fair share based on what they buy from foreign sources.

If income taxes were 15% across the board (or some such number), they would be much more fair. The founders said that income taxes could only be apportioned to states who would then divide them out state-by-state to total the amount that state was assessed.
