Tariffs are the Constitutional way of raising revenue for the federal government. Plus they are voluntary, don't buy the foreign made product don't pay the cost of the tariff. Progressive Marxists like you much prefer raising money with the compulsory progressive income tax. I'll take a voluntary consumption tax (tariff) over a mandatory income tax any day.

Which is not the same as saying, "Paying a little more for goods because of tariffs is better than living under a bridge." Thanks for playing.
