Tariffs = taxes
There may be a place and a time for some tariffs, but as Warren Buffet said today... "We should be looking to trade with the rest of the world, and we should do what we do best and they should do what they do best. Trade should not be used as a weapon."

America's top 1% have 40% of the nation's wealth, and bring in 24% of the income. CEOs make 380 times that of their average worker.
America's 1% hasn't had this much wealth since just before the Great Depression.
Who do you think should be paying more taxes in order to balance the federal budget? Those least able to pay, or those more able to pay?
Another snippet...
"The U.S. ranks high in terms of income inequality compared to other developed countries, particularly when considering wealth inequality. Before accounting for taxes and transfers, the U.S. ranks 10th in income inequality globally. However, after considering these factors, the U.S. has one of the highest levels of inequality, second only to Chile."
Think about this. Nobody likes to pay taxes, but in the US, the rich typically find ways to shift the burden of taxes to those less able to pay.
