All tax money directed at influencing consumer behavior is a scam.

I support tariffs as a means of influencing external actor [nation states].
I recall a[n un-cited] statement from the 1990s that the USofA runs on fees and tariffs, and the income tax goes to service the debt to the Federal Reserve. The relationship between the Federal Reserve and the Treasury seems to have changed of late. I don't pretend to understand the details.
