Persuading a libertarian that a negotiation between one worker and a huge corporation is not a simple free market transaction.

Persuading a libertarian that the Lord gave us the earth for our use, not for our maximum exploitation.

Persuading a Republican that tariffs were NOT responsible for America’s past prosperity.

(Tariff “protection” did not create wealth. It only diverted the wealth toward certain interests. The more things change . . . . The same Big Business interests that once got rich from what they falsely called tariff “protection” are now getting rich from what they falsely call “free trade.”)

Persuading a Liberal that it is important and to everyone’s long-term benefit to tell the truth even if it might hurt somebody’s feelings.

Persuading a Republican that invading and killing foreigners is not necessarily “defending our country.”

Persuading a Republican that “our country” is not the same thing as the federal government and armed forces.

Persuading a leftist or a neoconservative (but I repeat myself) that not all societies need, want, or are capable of democracy.

Getting a Liberal or a Republican, or a federal judge or a news reporter, or just any ordinary pseudo-intellectual American, to admit that there is more peace and harmony between black and white people in the South than anywhere else in the U.S.

Persuading many Americans that knowledge, wisdom, and intelligence are not determined by the amount of time spent in “educational” institutions.

Persuading any American pseudo-intellectual or professor (but I repeat myself again) that he is deluded to think he is smarter than other ordinary Americans.

Getting the public to accept that the “War on Drugs” is, as any honest person expected, a complete flop (except as a source of profit for interested parties).

Getting the media to act as though candidates for high office should be measured by more than popularity and cuteness.

Getting the politicians and bureaucrats to admit that the U.S. educational system is a very expensive failure (except to the degree that it intends on purpose to dumb down the population).

Getting the American public to accept the truth about their government: That the government is operated for the benefit of politicians, the rich and the foreigners who can buy politicians, minority group leaders who can intimidate politicians, and federal employees, contractors, and grant recipients. To everyone else the federal government is a burden and imposition.

(Tariff “protection” did not create wealth.

Strawman. No tax does.

But some taxes are better than others; some taxing regimes are better than others, for wealth generation and cultural cohesion.

You can either have a tariff or "free trade" and welfare. Take your pick. (Assuming you want a nation at all.) Every asian nation that industrialized last century vigorously employed tariffs, just as the United States did, for the very good reason that they work for that purpose.

If there is to be a government -- and there will be -- it must have revenue, and a tariff is far less intrusive upon the person and papers of the average citizen than any other method.

... except perhaps when the tariff is not uniform as to country of origin and products; huge bodies of law have grown just to define products and their country of origin, providing in turn a huge field for corruption.

I favor a high, uniform revenue tariff and the abolition of the income tax.

It worked for the first few decades of the USA. As a plus, it will force an end to outsourcing the manufacture of goods in China: all those jobs will come back here and put an end to the "Made In China" label.
