Okay, you want to fund the government via tariffs. So, how high does the tariff need to be to raise enough money? And if the price including tariff paid by consumers is too high and they opt for domestic products instead (one of your goals, I believe) how then do we fund the military and all the other things government does?

My plan would be for tariff income to cover discretionary spending. I would keep the parole tax as is for now to cover SS and MC. No income taxes. None.
