>> this topic is your "hot button" issue and it is clear that you have put lots of thought into it. <<

the only reason it is such a "hot button" issue is because so many people on the left and the right have been hoodwinked into believing in the specious dogma of free trade. the supply of utopian dreamers for me to argue with appears limitless.

>> but when you make statements similar to "tariffs only cost you if you buy foreign goods"....that shows little understanding <<

"With the tariff system, the whole revenue is paid by the consumer of foreign goods. The man who contents himself to live upon the products of his own country pays nothing at all."
