We cannot tariff our way out of debt by taxing consumption by individuals just needing to eat and live

Billionaires silo-ing massive wealthy beyond multiple lifetimes must pay their taxes

and Trillionaire corporations

Each state now has several Billionaires, there are almost 1,000 in the USA

They need to pay their damn taxes, a flat tax without deductions for everything over a million dollars of income per year

Note that the issue at hand here is almost entirely about corporations earning money overseas and then trying to "import" the money back into the U.S. whilst dodging taxes. It's quite germane to the same concept as tariffs, although not the exact same thing.
