You're being intentionally obtuse. You know how the markets work: remove barriers to trade, and it flourishes. Artificially subsidized businesses like Airbus are barriers; it is essentially a monopoly because its losses are subsidized.

Tariffs remove that barrier to American industries; and let's not forget, we are concerned about American industries, not international industries. If we cannot agree on that, we have nothing more to say. American businesses should be American first, last and always.

Barring corruption, tariffs are not set up in favor of a specific business, they are intended to aid the entire industry.

Barriers gone; competition exists. Maybe a dude starts a business in his garage, maybe he doesn't. The point is, there is currently no way he can.

Look how government subsidizes the health care industry ---and it's one of the only successful industries remaining. That and agriculture. I'm not sure what others are still successful at all.

"Barring corruption, tariffs are not set up in favor of a specific business..."

Thank God our business leaders and Congress people are above corruption!
