  • Tariffs aren’t external revenue. They’re paid by the importer/consumer of the foreign goods (i.e. within the United States.) For starters, the current and proposed tariffs come nowhere close to the amount of money needed to replace income taxes. In addition, if the tariffs successfully discourage American consumers from buying products that they apply to, the money generated by the tariffs also drops even further…

    Really it doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny at all if you think about it even a little bit. To champion it like you’re doing… at best, you have no understanding of the mechanisms being discussed, and you’re believing their lies hook, line, and sinker. At worst, you are doing a poor job of trolling or are deliberately spreading propaganda. And given you know how to type, it’s very sad that you don’t know better, because you should.
