And since you clearly favor letting neighbors pay for a fence, you must surely favor letting tariffs pay for the protection of American jobs and manufacturing infrastructure!

Only if you are able to make the argument that the fence in question must also be subsidized by others whose property does not adjoin the fence. Be my guest.

No, 1 rudeboy, I don't have to make that argument. The fence issue centers on the principle that both property owners enjoy a benefit from the fence, therefore both should pay a proportionate share of the costs. Furthermore, a single entity - in this case, the lawyer - can act and create a liability for his neighbors without their consent.

All Americans enjoy the benefits of well-paying jobs for Americans and strong manufacturing infrastructure. Therefore, it is right and proper that we should pay to accomplish that worthwhile end. We should do this even though the free traitors withhold consent.
