It’s funny that one of the planks of libertarianism was to have only tariffs as the income for the government. Yet it’s also a way to control us all? Weird.

Wrong. The Founders saw tariffs as the method to raise revenue, not engage in selective industrial policy (exceptions excepted). Your failure to see that explains why you don’t understand the “control” aspect.
