No, Government protects the economy with tarrifs by preventing subversion through dumping. That was the intent of the founders in laying tarrifs and the government supported itself off those tariffs as a result. Our defense from subversion became a strength to profit from. Your approach now is the exact opposite and you call our founding fathers "socialists" by extending such terms to those who do today what they did back then. The argument is specious and fraudulent, to say nothing of beligerant. It is the stuff of communist propaganda. And it comes from the likes of you - claiming conservatism.
Government sets prices, you can pretend it's for anything you want.
