@freemo @randahl This is a TERRIBLE idea. Tarrifs work in effect the same way VAT Taxes work (collected differently, but in the end the consumer pays for it in relation to how much they buy). Therefore like VAT they are regressive taxes (meaning poorer households pay a higher percentage of their income). That is because you can't not buy food for example, no matter the price, you literally have to eat.
