Conservatives are right to point out that taxes are ultimately paid by the consumer. Tariffs are no different. Higher prices are not in the interest of the consumer.

And the means tested government poverty programs that already exceed a trillion annually are ultimately paid by the present and future taxpayers. The thousands of factories and millions of jobs exported to cheap labor nations are a major reason we have seen the drastic increases in beneficiaries accessing these programs.

And "free" traders think the one-sided deals provide cheaper products to consumers? Add in that annual trillion in poverty programs and see what the savings from free trade look like.

OK, fine. Get rid of the welfare programs. But don’t force your fellow Americans to pay for the inflated price of your goods.
