And, show me, asshole, just where I ever stated that those imports accounted for 85% of all tariff income.

Let me direct you back to this quote in your reply 419:

"I quote from Professor Scruggs’ essay: “U. S. tariff revenues already fell disproportionately on the South, accounting for 87% of the total."

So, asshole, I admit to rounding down. So let me rephrase my question again, asshole. You want us to believe that the South imported machinery and forge goods and furniture enough to account for 87% of all U.S. imports, and 87% of all tariff revenue. If you really believe that then you're not an asshole, asshole. You're nuts.

Let me give you a word of advice, for your own good.

Advice from an idiot. Just what the world needs.
