Subject: RE: Reagan knew - he sure did



Quit using terms you don't understand. 

Every country runs their import/export system somehow. MOST of them do it by having a small import tax. That way the businesses inside the country that pay taxes aren't paying for the goods coming into the country to compete with them. Kinda makes sense, no? Those IMPORTING the goods pay the tax. It's pretty simple. The U.S. does, this, I believe, by a system of "port fees" that are essentially tariff's, that importing companies pay. 

35% and 100% tariff's are different animal. They go from paying for services to trying to change consumer habits. 

You can argue whether this good, or bad, or even effective. But they aren't functionally the same thing.
