Danny. I didn’t say tariffs were unconstitutional. I asked who pays for corporate taxes, tariffs and goods. I know you are smart enough to know the answer to that. It’s the consumer. A tax/tariff is just another cost of business passed on to the consumer. A direct transfer of money from the individual to the government. Would seem to be counter productive for limited government types, no?

I did answer you and I said nothing about constitutionality. Did you confuse responses or something.

A tariff is not a tax, not in the age of the global economy. a tariff just makes an item less competitive. The consumer is under no obligation to buy the item and almost certainly has the opportunity to buy a cheaper item that isn’t subject to a tariff.
