"Isn't all commerce wealth transfer from one segment to another?"

Very good point! Excellent in fact. But commerce is voluntary, an expression of freedom. Placing protective tarriffs on imported goods is designed to reduce the freedom of the consumer to buy a product at a lower price. That is not freedom, is it?

Freedom is also the ability to gather enough support so that you can get a bill passed placing tariffs on goods and services so that you can save the country you love.

actually under our Constitution it is liberty becuase no one has an absolute right to import tings without paying duties levied by Congress. Please see article 1 of the US Constitution.
