One of the greatest ironies in America, of all places, is that politicians have the citizens cheering on the raising of taxes on themselves. How so? Well, whenever the government spends money it doesn’t have, that the Federal Reserve counterfeits into existence, that’s a tax. It’s called inflation! The tax is paid by higher prices for the things we buy. When you go to the supermarket, remember the $6 Trillion "Covid Relief.” We’re still paying for that “relief.” When government “slaps tariffs” on another country, that’s a tax on the American consumers! Americans have bought into the “I’m from government and I’m here to help,” line, and we’re paying dearly for it.​

So, does this stop SS from libeling Ron Paul???

The SS, the black-uniformed elite corps and self-described “political soldiers” of the Nazi Party, would be opposed to Ron Paul and anything to do with liberty.

Oh, my bad, you meant SS:

Tariffs... have benefits as well.

They protect your independence and liberty...

Well, at least now he says he opposes Ron's views instead of lying about them and pretending Ron Paul supports that tariff nonsense... Baby steps.

A real baby step would be him skipping the step where he pretends Ron Paul agrees with him on the next subject Zerohedge gets the MAGA sheep all stirred up about.

Ron does support tariffs to replace other taxes.
He just doesn't support them as defense against enemy trade warfare.
He's closer to my position than yours.

What the living hell are you talking about?! Ron Paul's position and mine are EXACTLY the same. Because we come from the same school of economics.

We can accept low, uniform tariffs as a less objectional way of funding the limited functions of a federal government. We REJECT government protectionism!

Your position is the same statist claptrap we've heard for decades from lefties. You are completely opposed to Ron's position! Don't backtrack now. So much for those baby steps.

Ron is wrong.

Title: "Tariffs Are A War On American Consumers"

Ron's statement: "When government “slaps tariffs” on another country, that’s a tax on the American consumers!"

Btw, when is your new Bogus Book slated to be in stores? lol
 
I am in favor of tariffs as a means in which to fund limited government functions and to encourage domestic growth, manufacturing and production.

I consider Ron a national treasure, a statesman of epic proportions, all while being humble, soft spoken and mild mannered.

We disagree on this position.
 
What is the timestamp and context in the OP video?

Starts at about 11:00.
He's saying tariffs are bad and cause inflation.

Tariffs do not cause inflation, money printing causes inflation and deindustrialization causes money printing.

He also agrees our money pays the tariffs, but often the foreign industry will lower its prices to compensate, and if you buy domestic products the government doesn't get any tariff money.

He says the market can solve the problem, but it can't when the problem is slave labor and subsidization in tyrannical countries.

He says free trade is a moral issue when it supports slavery and tyranny.

He says we need to make the government live within its means even though buying slave labor produced and communist subsidized masks the market signals that might cause people to do something about it.
Free trade literally enables deficit spending and inflation because it robs foreign slaves and taxpayers to give a temporary perception of prosperity.

They talk about big corporations, big corporations LOVE Free Trade, they can afford to move to China to take advantage of slave labor while their smaller domestic competition cannot.
Free Trade creates giant globalist mega corporations and eliminates competition.
It also destroys the labor market by sending all the jobs overseas so they can reduce the wages they pay in all the remaining industries, and that wage loss is much bigger than any reduction in prices that comes from buying from slavers.

Free Trade is to the physical economy what the Federal Reserve is to the monetary system, a way for those with power and wealth to take an even bigger lion's share of future productivity and prevent anyone lower down from rising to compete with them.
Instead of a magic money machine it's a magic box to extract assets from without having to play by the same rules as those who have no access to it, especially those pesky rules about slavery and government subsidies.
It destroys independence, sovereignty, the political power of the average man, and liberty.

The bold above is a lie. Ron nowhere said that tariffs cause inflation. In fact he repeated several times that tariffs DO NOT cause inflation but do cause higher prices. He then several times noted that the higher prices caused by tariffs combined with those caused by inflation were really hurting American consumers.

The rest of your comments are just more of the same anti-freedom garbage you always post on this topic that I don’t have the time right now to deal with. Nor the inclination, for that matter since truth on this topic falls upon deaf ears where you and a few others are concerned. I’ve wasted enough of my life trying to convince obdurately resistant people that freedom is better than their familiar, and therefor comfortable, slavery. Enjoy your chains.

It's the first thing he says at 11:00.
He says it adds fuel to the fire of inflation.

You aren't replying to the rest because you can't, it's all fact, free trade is anti-liberty.
