So your argument is that tariffs are never a good thing.

I won't go that far, but selected tariffs I think are bad. All taxes have some negative impact to business, but still necessary.

I can support a tariff applied to the value of all goods, offset by reduction of other taxes. But don't have the government selecting individual winners and losers.

“don’t have the government selecting individual winners and losers.”

Even if the winner is US and the loser is OPEC?
