Tariffs can be viewed as a form of consumption tax like a VAT. Lots of European countries have VATs, not sure why ProGlibs would be opposed to tariffs if they think Western Europe has all the answers to everything.

A 10% or so tariff tax across the board could make sense, sure. Raise tax revenue and encourage consumption of domestically produced goods.

Do you think what we have now makes sense?
