Well, let's just hope that their seats go to more conservative republicans instead of democrats.
When did more gov't involvement, regulation, and taxes become conservative cornerstones.
As a conservative, tariff's worry me because often times those taxes and tariff's are only passed down to us consumers.

Taxing and regulating American businesses is one thing. What Trump is proposing is taxing businesses that do not operate in America, but only wish to line their pockets off the American consumer.

There's a popular myth that any form of "protectionism" is anti-conservative or not in line with the Republican/conservative history of governance in this country. That is false. It is only relatively recently that the notion of unfettered global free trade has come to be viewed as dogma.
And advocating targeted tariffs against countries that do not offer mutually beneficial trade balances has nothing to do with increasing domestic regulations and taxes. In reality, effective protectionism would couple targeted tariffs with a reduction in regulations and tax rates which would make it more beneficial for American business and workers.

The conservative argument makes sense on tariffs when other countries play fair.

NO frickING shite
Congress should stand the frick up against punishing companies, and instead push lower corporate taxes and regulations, and drastically lower any costs associated with repatriation.
Trump has a lot of seriously leftist policies that must be fought against, and this is one of them. Problem is, so many of Trump's supporters have stabbed their own brains trying to suck his dick. They have abandoned a ton of previously held beliefssimply because their alpha says so.
