By what method of divination does Mr. Trump know my mind better than I?
Or are you merely proposing my slavemaster?
“By what method of divination does Mr. Trump know my mind better than I? Or are you merely proposing my slavemaster?’
I was merely answering your question: “Who, by name, is so wise and good that they should supplant my judgement with their own on penalty of taxation for the leviathan state?”
But, I’m glad your mentioned ‘slavemaster’. Too few recognize that imposing tariffs “to save jobs” is the institution of a limited form of slavery where the consumer is made the slave of the producer. The federal government would choose the industries deemed worthy of protection and institute a system of forced wealth transfer to those industries with sufficient political connections from the majority of the population who are only consumers. Amazingly, some ‘conservatives’ see nothing wrong with using the powers of the federal government to extort wealth from some to give to others.
Tariffs are nothing more than the use of the federal government to institute a system of forced wealth transfer from those who consumer a good to those who produce the good.
Hey drama queen how does paying a tariff make you slave? The answer is it doesn't.
