FRankly, I don’t care whether tariffs are “specified” in the Constitution or not. That point is not germane to this question.
Historically, punitive tariffs have had a negative impact on the US economy - does the phrase “trade war” have meaning for you?
The FairTax totally eliminates the possibility of trade wars, whereas punitive tariffs guarantee them.
Trade wars lead to real wars, and should be, IMHO, avoided.
Two fallacies in one sentence! First of all we are in a trade war now! You can't start a trade war by actually retaliating. Secondly tariffs have been wildly successful every time they have been tried. Especially the USA from 1897 to 1913. So you are full crap. You are probably a product of a business school indoctrination.
