Interesting observation. So you are saying that taking money out of the hands of Americans (in this case with tariffs) harms the economy. Glad to have you on board with your support for lower taxes and burdensome regulations Goofy because it's exactly the same concept and has the same result. Hence, I oppose high taxes, tariffs and regulations because they all accomplish the same thing, reduced economic output.
Of course I would be remiss if I didn't point out the obvious difference. If tariffs raise the price of some product you always have the choice not to buy it. Not so with taxes or regulations where that money is taken from you at the point of a gun. Another difference is that little thing called competition. Higher prices is an invitation to competitors to step into a market which increases supply and drives down pricing, albeit with a lag in time before it becomes effective. Not so with taxes or regulations.
