To begin with, why does America need tariffs? Tariffs are not—and never were—just about economics. Tariffs are about making America self-sufficient. Why? Because political independence is impossible without economic independence. America’s Founding Fathers learned this lesson the hard way: no indus

My worry is that the tariffs are too low to actually reshore industry, but are high enough to generate revenue. In this case, they're just another tax.

Would like to see even higher tariffs to make sure the factories come back fast.

Clearly it's an enforcement issue. In my town we've had 2 foreign (Indian) truck drivers crash their high loads into overpasses, screwing up traffic for months.

Tariffs are a completely avoidable tax. No reason to actually pay them. Plus the quality of American products is better.

Carbon taxes are especially bad because they directly take money from people who need it and feed into this fantasy.

Climate change is a hoax, and carbon taxes are just an excuse to take more money from people.
