position to be in when name calling.
I didn't say that tariffs are government regulation.
Our discussion started when you replied to my assertion that problems such as those mentioned in the OP when the government weasels its way into the health care system.

You asked if that isn't what tariffs are.
I answered that, yes, tariffs, and all taxation, are (an example of government weaseling its way into business transactions), but to a lesser extent than is the current case of government intervention in the health care system, and that all governments require taxation and since I am not an anarchist that at least some minimal level of taxation (which necessarily has an impact upon business decisions, even if far less than the current government intrusions) is necessary in modern societies.
I'm not quite sure how you came to the conclusion that I was saying that tariffs are government regulation.
Maybe you could flesh out your reasoning behind that conclusion for me?
Your reply, which I disagreed with, was:
Not a lesser extent. You only say that because you're ok with them. It has nothing to do with anarchism, either. That's a deflection and quite a dishonest characterization of the issue.
