Free trade between non American states is anti-constitutional. Tariffs on imports is the only original constitutional method of funding the govt. So go ahead and disprove that. So free traitors are not conservatives.

I'm sorry to say, that you sir, are a moron. Tariffs on imports is the only original constitutional method of funding the govt.

That era ended over 200 years ago. It began to change in 1802.

The reason for the change was that trading partners began to reject tariffs as the sole funding mechanism. So for more that 200 years, we have given up that mechanism.

I certainly don't (as a conservative) object to tariffs, but they have a purpose and place and that purpose and place to even the trading playing field and not to be the sole funder of a massive government.

To think that for a single second exposes you as a idiot.
