    There was a time when the United States raised most of its federal revenue through tariffs. It ended 100 years ago, after World War I.https://nyti.ms/2ATmqPk

        Tariffs are put into place to balance unfair trade deals. You at NYT know this. Japan for many years were dumping products. Company's sold items for less than it cost to make them, US could not match. Jap GOV paid the company's back for their loss. US jobs folded, went under.

        #FakeNews doesn’t care about facts. Sadly you’re wasting your time.

        No, people in the U.S. will have to pay Tariffs and more money for what they usually buy.

        Income taxes were introduced as "a temporary measure" to pay for the costs of WW1- but governments became addicted to spending Other Peoples Money- OPM

        After WW1? Legendary NYT accuracy strikes again: the Revenue Act of 1913 lowered tariffs and imposed federal income taxes. WW1 hostilities ended 11/11/1918. The Wilson–Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 imposed the first peacetime income tax.
