Until the 16th Amendment is repealed there’s NO WAY tariffs will lower income taxes.

Tariffs only promote special interests and hurt the overall economy by artificially raising prices.

Tariffs do nothing to retaliate against counties that ALREADY slap tariffs on us. Tariffs are like shooting yourself in the foot. If another country wants to shoot itself in the foot, it doesn’t mean we have to be as stupid as they are.

Marginal rates can be raised and lowered and lowered to zero if the political will is there.

I never thought of a strong US economy as a "special interest".

Free Traitors™ have been raping the US economy for 30 years hopefully we can push them off and pick the economy up and regain our economic footing.
