I don’t think that anyone is unaware that the U.S. financed itself with tariffs prior to the income tax.
It is one thing to finance a limited government that way. Government is a cost to the people (not the other way around). But it is a whole different thing to impose tariffs as a means of creating jobs.
Even if you want to make what we call a cogent argument to the contrary, you still don’t need to resort to bitter sarcasm trashing one of the modern icons of conservative economics. I am not the one on a high horse because I think a little respect is in order for these people.
You are the one on the high horse because you think everyone who has any issues at all with Trump is a GOPe idiot. Funny thing, I am not the one who assumes that actual conservatives think the founders were leftist idiots.
You’re very concerned I might be denigrating Williams even though his argument undeniable denigrates our founding fathers.
I shouldn’t have to spell that out for you. And what in the Sam hell does this have to do with Trump or me being his supporter?
That first paragraph stands on it’s own.
