Yeah, and we could tax coffee beans to promote their cultivation in North Dakota. Someone like you might show up later to claim that your $18 cup of coffee is not "taxed," but I'd like to see you get people to believe it.

Well, it doesn’t matter whether they believe it or not. It would be true.

When George the Younger presided over generous increases in adoption tax credits, the hourly adoption lawyers rate shot up 50% overnight. Most of the agencies also had massive increases. But it wasn’t a tax. With a tax, the governemtn gets the increase, even if it is just going to hand everything over.

By the way, at no point in this whole thread did I ever support a protective tariff. I’m simply stating what it is and what it isn’t.
