Exactly. You want to use the power of the state to dictate to your fellow Americans what they can, and cannot make their own purchasing decisions about. I get it. You're very clear on that point.

You twisTED my words completely around. Do you work for Ted Cruz by chance? Please list the items I would use the power of the state to tell what Americans they can or can't purchase.

Perhaps I misunderstood you. “Tariffs? Absolutely”

Your words, not mine. What did you mean by that, if not support of tariffs, but you didn’t give a list. But you ask a good question: what items should get taxed with a tariff, and which should be left to individual economic decisions? You tell me. Here’s my list of imports i’d like to tax:____________.

And I get it, that Trump has made this trade barrier stuff a campaign issue, but it started before him, with Pat Buchanan. I’m not aware, to my displeasure, that Cruz has really taken Trump to task on this as firmly as I would like.
