17. Embargoes cost money, Tarrifs make money

I would rather charge companies for the privilege of importing their goods than pay my tax dollars to try and enforce a prohibition. An embargo on cheap Chinese cell phones would be no more successful than our attempts to prevent cheap Mexican weed from flooding the country. All it would do would be drain more of our government resources.

Its all about profit. And If a company is willing to pay more to have work done in its factory in china, so be it. The difference still ends up benefiting Us citizens when you place a tariff, as you can use it to pay for more infrastructure or education or social services, etc.
