$700B tariffs a year?

Do the math. U.S. imports ≈ $4T.

You’d need XX% avg tariffs—double today’s rate.

But higher tariffs shrink trade, cutting revenue.

Even optimistic models project $2–3T over XX years, not $7T.

Tariffs aren’t free money—they’re a hidden tax.

A nation doesn’t grow rich by taxing what it doesn’t make. Real wealth is made where steel is poured and wages are paid, not by a government skimming the dockyards like a fence taking his cut of stolen goods.
