Low or no tariffs and high income taxes are a progressives dream. Why are defending the current progressive status quo?
You should sue whoever supposedly educated you. A tariff is nothing but a tax, and the progressive dream is to fool people into paying high taxes - because they exercise the taxes as tariffs. It takes a stupid population to go along with it. It takes a stupid person to think a tax and a tariff are different. They are not. It's just another way to impose a tax.
Some progressive states have no income taxes but exorbitant tariffs. You are the progressive dream - let Bernie Sanders fool you.
