Have we ever used tariffs to punish anything other than economic behavior?

Good question. I can't think of any examples. Other than to point out that in the first half of our history, tariffs didn't punish anything; they were just one of the normal ways of raising revenue.

Sounds like little soy boy Trudeau called up Mar-a-Lago crying like a little girl last night. Amazing.

Tariffs don't cause inflation, Cortez.

Damn straight. I'm really tired of Ryan Reynolds and his stupid Mint Mobile commercials. Seth Rogen can go f*** off.

Let's hope there's a John Wick 5.

I didn’t say they did, but the effect of raising the price of certain goods will feel the same for American consumers.

 

[Spartans9312]

Yeah right.
