The problem is that we can now see it favors the increased wealth going to the upper 50%.

[total free enterprise] prosperity is increased for everyone even though the most efficient producers prosper the most. the disparity is natural and just. by increased production, they increase the standard of living for everyone. there can be no harm if everyone gains, no matter how disparate those gains are. it is protectionism that brings harm.

So I see a tariff as a way to replace the loss of Gov income that would result from eliminating the taxes and regulations on business that would accompany it.

government revenue is naturally limited by the prosperity of its citizens. in other words, it can't take what the citizens don't have. at any given time, there are only so many dollars. only so much can be taken. only so much can be borrowed.
