Tariffs cannot support a modern military. It is impossible.
When Jefferson imposed an embargo on foreign trade our revenue collapsed. When the War of 1812 broke out international trade and our tariff revenues collapsed.

Tariffs are quaint economic tools used only by a third world economy. They are going the way of the dodo bird for good reason.

In other words, the globalists need the Fed to be able to inflate the US money supply so that they can loot it to use for their own purposes, like NATO commanding our military in Libya.

They're used by exceptional free countries to protect individuals from unconstitutional taxes on their wages and help them preserve the income on their wages. Tariffs protect citizens and sovereignty and have a limiting factor on the size of government, something that YOU say you support.

Free traitors war on individuals and on sovereignty.
