"Tariff" (definition according to Google):
A tariff is a tax imposed on goods imported from one country to another.
It's essentially a duty or charge levied by a government on imported goods, typically paid by the importer. Tariffs can be expressed as a fixed percentage of the import's value (ad valorem) or as a specific amount per unit of the good (specific tariff).
My definition of "tariff":
It's the "transfer of wealth" FROM "We the [little] People" TO the dictator [in D.C.].
That's my limited understanding of communism.
Communism defined by Google:
A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which
all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and
needs.
Since Vladimir Putin is Donald Trump's hero, what we have is a communist in the White House.
Should tRUMP be removed from office at all costs regardless of the collateral damage?

Some argue that tariffs protect American industry. But American industry is so mismanaged that 10% won't help them. The tariff just allows them to be more inefficient and produce stuff that is more expensive than the rest of the world will pay.
Look at pickup trucks. Big tariffs on them. Trucks provide most of the profits for auto manfacturers. But you don't see a lot of them being exported. You do see a lot of Asian manufacturer trucks.
For steel, the manufacturers failed to up.date the steel mills, and so costs soared compared to the rest of the world so management found it cheaper to buy steel from half way around the world, ship it, and then sell it.
There is no good argument for tariffs.
The reason I don't like tariffs is those funds go straight into the government's pocket, not
into production.

Percentage wise, poor people pay much more tax than the rich.
Eventually, all things good and bad come to an end.

That's what I've heard, taxes and death are the only certain things.
I believe there's life after death and the government can't tax you
after you've been "born again" to the other side!

Yes, being "born again" is something I look forward to.

It doesn't appear to me that Americans will ever learn about voting!
Will Canada vote to annex the USA?

subjects of the King - Except Quebec
Down here, tRUMP is getting into the deporting business.
Do you think he would deport the Frenchmen back to France for a price?
.
You're correct. Legitimate elections in the USA are history! Elon Musk bought a position.
Now Qatar is buying one [by giving tRUMP a 747 decked out in gold]. Here come to Muslims
to run our government.

__I don't like tariffs because tariffs go straight into the government's pocket.
__Bethlehem Steel made the BEST in the world! The foreigners still don't make it quite like we did!
I think they overlooked a small process in manufacturing.
