When you call for tarriffs to protect your job, you are calling for increased prices for some so you can enjoy an increased life style at their expense. Sounds like a theme more at home in the democrat party.

Tariffs do more than protect jobs, they encourage the growth of industry in the nation and raise revenue that can be used to lower other federal taxes like self employment, payroll, and income taxes.

Exactly how does this logic differ from that used by the democrats to justify an increase in the minimum wage? Are you also a supporter of their arguments for a "living wage"? If not, why not?
