>>I’m for constitutional government, performing the role the constitution specifically outlines for the federal government. Trump on the other hand is a big taxing big government statist.<<

You think you are for the Constitution, yet you would trash the borders that are essential to its preservation. BTW, Trump is your BEST BET FOR LOWER TAXES, BY FAR. If he wins he will absolutely have a gigantic electoral mandate, including states like NY, PA, NJ, MI . . . maybe even CA.

Technically, I guess it is true that a tariff is a tax; but, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THAT IMPORTED CAR, ELECTRONICS etc., if you do not like it that their price went up due to a tariff. The IRS, on the other hand, will put you in prison if you do not comply.

I do not know if you are a libertarian . . . just guessing, really. But I wonder if you might stop for a moment and give some consideration to the differences between an OPTIONAL purchase of a tariff-affected Apple iPad, versus personal income taxes. Also, I remind you that Trump wants to drastically cut corporate income taxes for companies, so MAYBE AN iPAD MADE IN AMERICA will come back into the price range of those currently made in China. And . . . that America company will pay American workers who will also take on a share of the tax burden, unlike Chinese workers.
