‘Since then-president Donald Trump imposed a 20% tariff on roughly half the goods America buys from China, the Treasury has collected about $100 billion in fees. Most of that was paid by US consumers’
Most was paid by the CCP who devalued their currency & subsidized their manufacturing base to offset the tariffs.
Every dollar in tariffs is a dollar more reason to re-industrialize the American heartland & increase manufacturing & middle class lifestyles in America.
We should eliminate all income taxes & support the government through tariffs. That would bring a massive boom to the US economy & see millions of jobs & trillions of dollars brought to the USA.
Tariffs are a type of voluntary usage tax. Don’t want to pay them? Buy American!
So what? That is the whole point. This is how "Made in The USA" becomes the other, most viable and best option.
