It produces revenue after we the consumers pay the cost that are passed down to us as a result of said tariffs.

So yes. It’s revenue.

And the other part?

Again… if it’s so difficult to answer and defend… it’s time for some reflection. Isn’t it?

Leftists love taxes yet hate tariffs. I wonder if that’s because OMB?


Leftists also love to increase corporate taxes. They say with Tariffs the consumer has to pay for it in the end. Well what do they think happens when corporations get taxed more? They think the company just eats it?

Exactly. The same thing. Well there is one difference. The US corporate tax only hurts US citizens in the end instead of tariffs that does hurt foreign companies that use slave labor to undercut American workers.

I’d prefer they take it out of the corp tax cuts they just passed vs taking away benefits from lower income American people


The benefits come back as soon as the democrats vote yes on their own CR they lock step voted for 13 times during the last administration.

They come back when the democrats decide to not force policy by shutdown. You know… the way it’s done by what Dems call “our democracy”. Our democracy that is apparently in peril according to them… while they attempt to force policy… defying the republican majority.. that was elected to represent the people in “our democracy”.

Btw…. Forgot to answer OP

Hell… we have to apparently keep adding trillions after trillions in spending to keep Obamacare afloat. And they still celebrate that monstrosity.

The main purpose of Tariffs is to ;level the playing field per se, punish those who keep our goods out of their markets....using tariffs.

Revenue generation is a byproduct.

The purpose of tariffs in this administration is to give Trump unchecked “strong-arm” control over major economic levelers that he can use to get every corporation and country in the world to “bend the knee” at his will. He’s used it to silence all public dessert coming out of Wall Street and every president moving forward will do the same if the SCOTUS doesn’t strike them down.

So in conclusion.. with the withdrawal of any tariffs… the democrats should likewise surrender their demand for additional spending due to the falling revenue and vote on their own Biden CR to reopen the government.

Did I summarize that correctly?

I’d be cool with that. Trump loses most of his ability to tariff in return for the Dems agreeing to reopen government

Let’s consolidate this in one thread.

In your opposition to tariffs, thus reducing revenue, you ARE for the democrats surrendering their request for trillions more in spending


What a retarded premise.

You must want a 100% income tax, right? It would increase revenue. What are you, some kind of leftist cuck?

It produces revenue because it's a tax

If you're for tariffs then what is your ideological opposition to any other form of taxes?
