I think you are the one who is “overwrought.” It is correct to observe that the Founding Fathers (and the Constitution) intended tariffs to provide revenue to the Federal Government. Not all of the Founding Fathers (and not the Constitution) provide for tariffs to “bring jobs back to the U.S.,” or whatever populist garbage your typical protectionist uses to argue in favor of a larger, and more intrusive industrial policy. And at the extreme end of that industrial policy, you have the example of N. Korea.
Respectfully pointing out in response to your choice of emotionally-laden words that the root, of the word “protectionism”, is the wonderful word: “protect”.
Same thing America’s brave, selfless military service people do.
Protect ... America; protect America.
You got a problem wit’ dat “free trade” punk??
:D
Nobody listens to your Free Trade crap anymore. Traitors can GTH.
