Yeah, sure. Tariffs are taxes. That is a fact. Protectionists never like being told that their love of tariffs is what brought about the federal income tax. It is completely dishonest and anti-intellectual to think for a moment that providing a government today, even of the size desired by conservatives, could be financed by tariffs alone. The argument that tariffs were used in the past to fund government and, therefore, should be used again today - because they are still relevant - requires an intentional disregard for how things work in the real world. Those of us who choose to live in the real world know better. More government is not the solution. You should stop arguing for it.
To perform a Constitutional duty is NOT and ‘additional act’ BTW. Your view of ‘no government’ versus my version of a lawful sane government with no undue influence is different. Okay, I get that.
But is BY NO MEANS gives you the authority for the temerity to order me to “stop arguing” for a Constitutional duty. Shame on you. You frankly sound like an anarchist.
