On Friday’s Mark Levin show, The left and some on the right are advancing utopianism and have been gradually eroding the Constitution and America. To them liberty is immoral except when it benefits their vision of equality and utopia. As conservatives, we should not abandon our principles to chase phony promises or hopes of paradise. Later, if protectionism and tariffs were great then former President Herbert Hoover would have been the greatest president in U.S. history. Massive tariffs don’t work and are counterproductive to the economy. Currently, the U.S. has 12,000 tariffs in place. In addition, tariffs pass the cost of goods onto the consumer, and result in a poorer populace while the money ends up in the government’s hands. Instead of taxing the American people, we need to unleash the American economy. Donald Trump’s policies on trade will kill the economy and jobs. China and Japan are not the problem, but the EPA which is destroying the industrial heartland and other big government agencies are.
