No I’m not wrong. Our Founding Father’s knew what they were doing. For the last 60 years, we’ve ignored their advice.

The Founding Fathers saw tariffs as maximizing freedom because it allowed them to avoid taxing American citizens. They saw it as a tax on foreigners wanting to sell into our markets.

A $50 a barrel tax on oil, for example, isn't a tax on American citizens?
