So they want to tax everybody more to give tax cuts to the rich. Problem is, the poor don't have that much money, so you can't get that much from them to help out. Even if you want them to die in the streets, they just don't have a whole lot to give.

And tariffs don't apply to in-country purchases. So I guess they'll realize that a VAT is preferred to a tariff?
