You are.
But you don,t pay income tax. No government reaching in your pay check before you even see it.

You pay tariffs so you buy more USA made stuff.
Whits stimulates us production, whits creates more job,s.
And let's face it, the IRS is a monster, and so is the tax code. We can't continue like this. And the national debt will certainly kill us in a few years. So, courageous action is needed.
We consume too much, and the trick of printing money no longer works, because the foreign countries no longer want to pay with dollars for oil,so who wants dollars? And your tax system is broken, and there are too many fingers in the honeypot.
America is not in a good state at the moment.
America can no longer afford to invest so much money abroad because it no longer has a return on its investment, as China is scooping up all the good deals because they have more money. If you don't counter that with tariffs Your done, And you don't stimulate production. And if there's no production at home, you no longer generate any money.
It's not a Trump trick; it's a dire necessity.
