You can argue of the pros and cons of tariffs but WE HAVE THE RIGHT to vote for a protectionist government.

The very first law passed by the first congress and signed by President Washington was the Tariff Act. Law numero uno.

“You can argue of the pros and cons of tariffs but WE HAVE THE RIGHT to vote for a protectionist government.”

Then argue the pros and cons. You could start by making a moral case for using the power of government to steal wealth from one group to give to another group.
