I cant disagree with much of that either.

The founders felt the best way to make commerce REGULAR with foriegn nations was through tarrifs.

Yet there are those even on this stie that claim that that was not to regulate commerce, but was to fund the federal government only.

I am against UNREGULATED FREE trade. I am for FAIR and FREE trade. You send me 1 dollars worth of goods and I get to send you 1 dollars worth of goods.

China taxes the hell out of stuff coming into their country from ours. That, and they play with their funny money. Tax the livin piss out of their crap comming into our country or they dont get to send it in here.

There is no Constitutional right to free trade with foreign countries. None what so ever. Actually the opposite is true.

The political class of both parties will soon come to love big tariffs if Trump winds up going that route.

I can hardly think of a better way to milk the donor class for dollars than to play the game of who gets tariff protection and who does not.
