You missed the most important part: they want to tax you.

No. Obamacare taxes the person. Income tax taxes the sweat of one's brow. Property tax taxes a man's home and land. Tariffs tax stuff made outside the country that people here buy.

Apart from the fact that increasing tariffs increases the price of domestic products (that’s their object, after all), and domestic products that use foreign inputs, you have a point. I think.

Exactly! We could put a tariff on foreign oil, raise the price to $200/bbl, wouldn't make the slightest change in domestic oil prices. Right?

Let me tell you how it will be. There’s one for you, nineteen for me. Sorry, after the Strawberry Fields comments I couldn’t resist.
