I would contend this is not true for you or anyone else who pays taxes in the US.
Salaries earned in the US, regardless of the competitiveness of the worker, still pay lots of taxes, reducing the tax load you otherwise would have to pay. Also, thise workers are not idled, meaning they aren’t out collecting unemployment or committing crimes to stay afloat.
In our society, in which “tax burdens” are borne primarily by people with jobs, having an able-bodied person not working is a real, tangible cost.
Fine. But if the government is going to redistribute wealth to take care of those who don't have jobs let's do it more transparently by taxing everyone and allocating the money around openly.
These tariffs are a more complicated means to the same end and they have the effect of distorting the market and favoring certain industries over others.
They're a tax on consumers and the tax receipts go to a certain class of workers through artificially high wages.
A tariff creates MORE unemployment not LESS.
Wealth comes from Work and reducing the creation of wealth reduces work. Like all taxes it does not create wealth.
The social costs of capitalism are ameliorated by programs intended to handle them.
