yet if there’s one thing certain about imposing tariffs, is that it hurts the majority in order to help a minority.

This is a game of poker. The end game is to get rid of tariffs that other country have on US exports.

But it can’t happen unless we threaten them (credibly) with tariff’s of our own.

We’re in the middle of the process.

Only if you stupidly consider the US worker the minority! Then you are right. What imbecilic comment.

So Europe agreeing to zero tariffs hurt the majority of us?

Thanks for your help in letting us understand all of this.

Oh please. If this comment were true, then you need to explain to the rest of us why the Constitutional framers specifically included tariffs as the ONLY means of generating revenue. I’ll trust the wisdom of the founders over the nattering of globalists who insist tariffs are bad - while ignoring the devastating import tariffs imposed on U.S. companies nigh these past four decades.

Tariffs help the entire country, at the cost of the few.

You have that completely backwards. The tariffs are a voluntary tax the US Government receives for the entire country from the choice of “one.”

Where did you go to school?
