Our country’s government used to run 100% using tariffs and it was only when the North was losing the Civil War was an income tax imposed. Then it was abolished and then reintroduced by democrats to fight other wars. Let us not be fooled!

Could be. Are they? Wanna show how?
Btw. You are stating that literally every country that puts tariffs on US goods (which is essentially every country in the world) is doing it wrong to their own detriment.
You are in the wrong field. You’d make millions being an advisor to countries on how to make trade work for them.
Or more likely you might be wrong?

Compare our disposable income to theirs.

You are avoiding the question. It’s a bad look. It’s an immature way to make arguments. Be honest. You are acting like there is causation. Prove it.
And also. Are you stating a countries disposable income comparison to a potential trade partner should be our driving decision making factor?

No, they are the results of a people's ability to grow wealth, of which trade is a huge component.
Wealth accumulation, which is the purpose of trade.
We just be doing something right.

So all the countries with tariffs on US products are blocking their own people from creating wealth? On purpose?

Considering most value Egalitarianism over competitiveness, they very well could be.

So let’s say for example, Crown Royal.
Canadian whiskey maker. Before the recent Trump change, there was a Canadian tariffs on US whiskey.
So in Canada CR were able to sell their product to Canadians at a much lower cost than say Jack Daniels.
They also could continue to ship to the US without a tariff and compete for US customers with Jack Daniel’s with no charges in place.
How does that keep CR from creating wealth again?

Then compare our disposable income to theirs if we weren't strapped their tariffs.

You seem incredibly knowledgeable - thanks.
So , how does a state like Florida have a balanced budget every year as constitutionally mandated.
Can the Fed Gov ever get there?
