Tariffs are completely voluntary taxation.

I thought that's where you were going, and your obfuscation was simply to disguise the fact that you are wrong. You pay higher taxes when a tariff is raised when the domestic producer raises his prices (with the government's blessing), and you pay higher taxes when a tariff is raised when you buy a domestic product that contains an imported component.

So go ahead, avoid buying cocoa butter (I do). Now try to avoid buying chocolate. Or come to FR and claim that you are not paying higher taxes when you buy that chocolate. LOL

Typical, one does not pay a tariff, no matter how much one may twist, project, slander, whatever, unless one purchases the good that has a tariff placed upon it.

One can make up (as only a Globalist can) whichever scenario a fevered mind can, the plain fact is, Tariffs are completely voluntary taxation and were the mechanism that was designed into the Constitution to fund the federal government.

Thems facts.
