No, Americans did. Tariffs are not in accord with economic freedom. They are government interference.

If we have no internal taxes, like income taxes, we can have internal free trade and prosperity. Any over expensive good from over seas will be supplanted by invented internally supplied alternatives.
Plus having a TARIFF ONLY form of fed gov funding means fed gov has a VESTED INTEREST in protecting the damned borders.
Tariffs are less intrusive than income taxes to citizens... or land taxes which is why tariffs are in the constitution and income taxes had to be added later by the bastardass progressives in 1913.
That is so preposterous! Question: When I buy a tariff'd good do I have to fill out form and tell the government if I turned 65 this years or went blind! LOL! What poppy cock stupidity!
