You sound like a liberal: “Oh, people don’t change their behavior because of tax policy.” (Except experience has proven over and over that they do.)
Tariffs are taxes, and you’re now claiming that no harmful effects will occur because of that tax, even though other taxes provably do cause behavior to change. (Why do you think we have “sin” taxes?)
Why do we still have taxes to pay for WW I? I’m not a lib, I am more Libertarian according to a Q and A poll. I am also far right of fascist when it comes to law and order. I think most people sway both ways in their lives. There is always a little Liberal and Conservative in all opposing sides.
