They had tariffs which is a tax

Tarrifs ... do they increase internal wealth by promoting internal commerce amongst citizens, or do they decrease internal wealth by making imported product go up in price?

Being as the USA became the wealthiest nation on the planet under tarrifs, before federal taxes, I'm going to lean towards tariffs creating commerce amongst citizens and offsetting and surpassing the cost of tariffs in imports.

Tariffs are taxes which are theft. Don’t justify theft because you want to hold on to the illusion that this same government brainwashed us to believe in their damn government schools.

I'm fine with tariffs on foreigners competing with American products. Especially considering all foreign countries place tariffs on US imports.

So you feel left out because the slaves in foreign countries are being taxed so you want to be taxed too?

You sound like a statist. Why not just let people buy what they want to buy? Or do you not believe in free markets?
