I'll give 'em your address and tell them to discuss their loss of income with you.
Then we could work on having fair trade, which would lead to more employment and real economic growth. Without your cheap one way imports undercutting the market and not adding demand, but adding oversupply...people would actually be able to have meaningful work and at the same time demand would expand and prices wouldn't go up at all.
Then everyone would thank me for having you close up shop.

Actually, they would. What did steel prices do after Bush imposed tariffs on steel? They went up.
If you restrict supply, prices go up. If you restrict supply AND increase demand (assuming that you actually managed to increase with tariffs, which is not guaranteed), then you REALLY send prices up.
Your analysis of economics is laughably Marxist.
