Quite the contrary. You have not read your history. You are simply ignorant.

Alexander Hamilton strongly supported protective tariffs.

LOL!

Hmm; yes, a bad example and terribly embarrassing. Though i do not believe that you've refuted the strong centralized government charge I levied against you...and how could you given your central planning adoration?

What "strong central government charge" was that?

So perhaps you want to go back to the weak Articles of Confederation?

I don't.

I too wish we could undo a great deal of crap done in the name of the Interstate Commerce clause. But tariffs were always constitutional. No ifs. Not buts. No maybes.
