"It's the governments responsiblity to maintain a "level playing field" to foster competition"...

That is not in the link you posted.

Government is a necressary evil, to secure our borders, and not much else. Certainly not to level a playing field.

Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Not the general welfare of India.

To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;

Regulation implies negotiating favorable trading conditions with a foreign power. Many of our founders also talk about protecting industry from nations that would capitalize on our economic weeknesses. Free Trade is a new concept tariffs and excises are not.
