I don't care what it is used for , a one dollar tariff on a given product will increase the charge of that product by one dollar. and when it is a product that is mostly consumed by the poor and middle class , then it becomes a tax on the poor and middle class. It a lot simpler then that,forget the tarriff and increase the tax on the people who need it the least and deserve it the least , the wealthy. It is exactly like a national sales tax , it is so the poor and middle class pays for it. The wealthy have gotten fat of their free ride for the last 45 years . now for the next 45 years we will turn that around and move the wealth in the hands of the poor and middle class. And instead of the poor and middle class watching from the side as the ungodly wealthy get that much more ungodly wealthy. Instead for the next 45 years we will watch the rich sit and watch while the workers and the needy get their turn at the bucks. Screw them. They don't earn it deserve it of need it.
