And all that was before the good ol wonderful income tax was put in place. Different times, the founders also never intended for a federal income tax. Of course tarrifs are in the Constitution but it was there to raise income to the government a far cry in what is being requested today.
I feel for small business and middle class who this will impact as the cost of goods go up and those hit by the tarrif start laying off to meet margins
Walk me through a scenario where these tariffs cause someone hit by them to lay someone off.
The only people getting laid off will be in China. Which is probably e where you live.
