I believe in states rights even if the South had it wrong on tariffs. States rights supersedes everything.
I am feeling protectionist regarding one industry. We should impose oil tariffs if I had my way. Angle it to get gas up to $2 a gallon that way and cut back on Islamic oil and Hugo Chavez oil.
Better yet, a tariff on foreign oil and no more gas taxes. No more deisel taxes either.
We don’t need a protective tariff. We need someone who will reduce government, eliminate the IRS, reduce these massive regulations, fight the labor cartels, eliminate crony capitalism and make it more profitable for people to work instead of collecting government checks.
A protective tariff will just increase prices on the American consumer with no guarantee that jobs will return.
