We had tariffs from the inception of our free republic in 1787 until late 1996 with the passing of NAFTA.

We need to be clear on the fact that the U.S. Treasury is not only still collecting tariffs but it's raking in more money than ever.  Just last year alone America collected more than twice the tariff revenue than all the tariff revenue collected tor the first century "from the inception of our free republic in 1787 "

Many people don't seem to understand that when we cut tax rates, the tax revenue increses.

Yeah but not from China or Mexico two of our biggest trade partners.

How about raising the tariffs to where they should be around 35%, and cutting personal income taxes by 35% along with the elimination of the corporate and death tax?

You would have a sudden boom in our economy, and tax revenues would sky rocket.
