The US grew to the largest economy by having the lowest tariffs of any large country.

You don’t have to be perfect.

Just the least stupid.

That's a valid point, but you overlook a very important point:

The U.S. grew to the largest economy in the world when its tariffs were low and its standard of living was considerably lower than that of its trading partners. In other words, we grew to the largest economy in the world when we were considered the "cheap labor" and the "coolies" compared to our European trading partners.

Do you think Americans want to go back to those days?
