I'm not moving any goalposts. I'm just trying to figure out which taxes you wish to compare.
But ok, let's discuss taxes on trade between Americans. Which ones would you like to discuss?
I'd like to talk about the taxes on trade between Americans that you referenced in post #67. Then we can discuss why you think tariffs would be better than those other taxes.
Oh no please. Seniority first. You've been at this game for so much longer than me. I think you, after all these years of your "debating" on free trade threads, should finally explain why you prefer internal taxes to external taxes (since you're not an anarchist of course and agree there will be some form of taxation).
And it would be nice if you could do it without resorting to tangents dissecting the definitions of two syllable words and their usage. I won't hold my breath.
