Man, tariffs work great! Yet another taxation layer.

How about we cut the size of the government rather then giving it, yet another revenue stream?

My preference is to substitute higher tariffs for some of the personal income tax revenue and all of the taxation on profits made from manufacturing in the USA. Tariffs provided most of the revenue of the Federal Government until 1914. They worked well for over 100 years.
