You aren't getting the argument at all, and you probably never will.
Of course the tax will be passed on to the consumer. Keep in mind however
that under the system our Founders created, the citizen only pays it when
they VOLUNTARILY purchase an article of foreign manufacture.
If they make, sell or buy goods within our economy, they pay no tax at all.
"The tariff is the cheaper system, while by the direct tax system assessors
and collectors must be sent forth across the land like a swarm of Egyptian
locusts. By the tariff system, the man who contents himself to live on the
products of his country pays no tax at all."
-- Abraham Lincoln
You recently professed great admiration for Abraham Lincoln. Maybe this will
help open your eyes.
