“There is NOTHING immoral about protectionism. Nothing. George Washington signed the Tariff Act of 1789 So was he immoral? Why should I listen to a loser who knows nothing about neither morality or history.”
You might want to study a bit of history as well as some economics. The Tariff Act of 1789 was passed to fund the federal government. Some of the Republicans at that time wanted to pass protective tariffs but the Democrats stopped those efforts since they felt tariffs should only be high enough to fund the government. They also felt that tariffs high enough to be protectionist would be harmful to consumers.
