Just so you remember: Evil often "works" and is thus pragmatic.
If a threatened tariff gets a government to give another government something, it worked (at least in the short term).
Theft can get you a new car.
Kidnapping can get you a "girlfriend".
And a tariff can get you concessions.
It's still not right, even if it "works". Especially when it violates life, liberty, or property and moves in the direction of more authoritarianism.

Tariffs are nothing new in this country. We've had them since virtually day one here.
ReplyDeleteYes. Traditional evils are still evil.
DeleteThat is similar to one of the justifications for slavery.
