Funny, the US became the largest economy in word history with high tariffs and no income tax. That Alexander Hamilton was a real fool, for sure.

No, tariffs create an incentive to build in America. And they served this country well for 180 years. Every since we lowered them we’ve been losing industries and jobs. And our economy has been getting progressively weaker to the point that after the 2008 crisis, we never really recovered.

Hamilton spoke of “infant industries,” not “politically connected” ones.
