Diversionist, borne of losing an argument. Income taxes (illegal or not) have no real connection with tariffs, imposts and duties. At tactic unworthy of argument in the context of the gist of the OP.
Yeah, sure. Tariffs are taxes. That is a fact. Protectionists never like being told that their love of tariffs is what brought about the federal income tax. It is completely dishonest and anti-intellectual to think for a moment that providing a government today, even of the size desired by conservatives, could be financed by tariffs alone. The argument that tariffs were used in the past to fund government and, therefore, should be used again today - because they are still relevant - requires an intentional disregard for how things work in the real world. Those of us who choose to live in the real world know better. More government is not the solution. You should stop arguing for it.
