All taxes are theft and tariffs are no exception.
When the government slaps a tariff on imports, it’s not foreign companies who pay, it’s you.
Tariffs are just another way the state picks your pocket and calls it “patriotic.”

“Tariffs are theft.”
Stop pretending government control is capitalism.
Real freedom means free markets — and keeping what you earn.
