> Tariffs are nothing more than taxes, which means that protectionists believe high taxes create prosperity. This is an absurd claim.
Supporting higher tariffs is one of the biggest mental gymnastics that right-wingers perform while they claim to be 'pro-business'

It will do nothing more than giving people a warm fuzzy feeling and the illusion of doing something good for the country while screwing over those who actually bear the cost of trade tariffs.
