Conservative republicans explain why you are against taxation.

I don't know any sensible person who is against taxation. Taxation is necessary in any large autonomous group that populates a specific geographic location, if they want any quality of life and security. Tariffs are a tool. They can be used to cover certain aspects of 'overhead' or as punishment for unfair trade practices. The problem with the socialists is they seem to think that a country can tax its way out of poverty. That is impossible. It goes back to one of the first lessons in life. Nothing is free. Everything requires an effort of some sort. A smart person once said, "Trying to tax your way out of poverty is like standing in a bucket and trying to pick yourself up by the handle." That's the problem with democrats. They are immature and idealistic about things. They don't have a realistic perspective about economics or anything else.
