“Tariffs are not taxes”

“Why does congress claim approval authority?”

You ARE BRILLIANT Cletus.

Congress retails tax and regulation to the country through K St lobbying/intermediary industry,

Tariffs interfere with Congress’ business model-the business model that has taken Washington DC from 84th city in the nation per capita income in 2000 to number one as of 2016.

The intent of the Founding Fathers was for Fed.gov to fund itself off tariffs.

“The tariff was the main form of federal taxation over the first half of the history of this country, until the income tax emerged in 1913. There is an indisputable chronological correlation between the tariff and phenomenal economic growth. From the late 18th to the early 20th twentieth centuries, the United States steadily developed into the most successful economy in the world.”

For Congress to take money in return for tariff regulation would be opening Congress to charges of treason-accepting money from foreign interests and governments for legislative favor.

Taxation and regulation however... has a “established and accepted” business model.

MAGA!!!!
