you said, "tariffs only raise prices if you buy foreign." That is false. Tariffs raise all prices. The primary reason industries want tariffs is so they can charge more for their goods, and TAKE higher profits from all consumers.

If my mother was against free trade, she would have been wrong. Free trade rewards efficiencies. Sometimes false efficiencies get rewarded (like Chinese prison labor slavery). Better information is required to correct for those anomalies.

IMO it requires narrow mindedness to support general trade restrictions. Those who are able to look at the big picture cannot fail to support general free trade.
