"We were always a nation of tariffs unto the unpatriotic globalist took over both parties."

In 1789 we started out as a nation with no Navy or Marine Corps and a couple dozen standing Army personnel. Should we go back to that also? We lived in a different world back then as tariffs was the main source of governmental income as there were no corporate or personal taxes.

Do you acknowledge that tariffs actually work to protect industry from moving offshore?

Funny how it was a different world back then until you mention Adam Smith then every thing he said applies to today trade situation perfectly.
