You said, “We may have 12,000 tariffs on the books but like immigration laws they are ignored...”

That is false. Anyone who believes that is uninformed, misinformed, or perhaps a common idiot.

My point was never what percent of federal government receipts come from tariffs. That’s your rant. I don’t know or care. But a simplistic understanding of kindergarten Economics tells us that higher prices (the byproduct of tariffs) lead to less demand. By the book, it’s known as the “marginal propensity to consume”. Google it.

Honestly. I’m trying to help you.
