And you have to remember that the purpose of tariffs is not to produce revenue so much as to decrease imports.

Who sad that? Not me. Tariffs can be justified as a superior revue collection mechanism, far superior to the income tax..

You don't think that making everything imported 25% higher isn't going to discourage imports? Well then what the heck, why not a 250% tariff on everything? Go big or go home.
