Tariffs...taxes. Money taken by the government to pay for government. Hmmmm? Yes, there is obviously a difference.
I woould rather pay more for a good to support a tariff than I would a tax. The former is the equivalent of a sales tax; if I don't want to pay it, I don't buy the product. I say we do away with our current "voluntary" income tax system completely, and go back to tariffs. Might force the feddle gummint to spend its money more wisely too.
Well, maybe not.
