I woould rather pay more for a good to support a tariff than I would a tax. The former is the equivalent of a sales tax; if I don't want to pay it, I don't buy the product. I say we do away with our current "voluntary" income tax system completely, and go back to tariffs. Might force the feddle gummint to spend its money more wisely too.
Well, maybe not.
I pay whether it's a tariff or a tax...the government is not a wise money manager, which is why they shouldn't interfer with commercial interprises that are.
