Um, tariffs are marxist. They deny that individuals can creat their own value.

Oh really and just who gave you that bit of idiocy. By calling tariffs Marxist you are spouting some ignoramus' line that has no basis in History. The USA had a protective traiff for manufacturing before Karl Marx was born. The fact that individual staes were having a great many problems with foreign tariffs under the Article's of Confederarion was one of teh reasons for a Constitutional Convention. No one who has read Adam Smith or Alexander Hamilton could possibly take the position that tariffs are Marxist.

Please read some economics and history before you give such copiuos proof of your own ignorance. "Better to be thought a fool by remaining silent than to give evidence of that by openings one's moth."
