Taxes and tariffs always fall upon the bourgeoisie middle-class. The most wealthy have always been at the top of socialism, which is why their nations are always dictatorial and despotic states. Those same wealthy elites formed the Federalist Party in the US, which, after Madison, became the Whig Party, and later, the GOP. That is the sad truth about it, but it had infected both political parties by the 1890s creating the progressives within the Anglo-American Establishment.
The progressives were behind the League of Nations, and after that fell apart, after WWII, they stated that the League didn't go far enough, so they created the UN, which could, and now, has. Federalization is all about "collectivizing" states under one all-controlling entity. We're witnessing the results of that now, as they first created the three "trade unions" in the northern hemisphere, and now this. It's all about control, and it is very similar to the political beliefs of Leon Trotsky.

@PWRR Oh, how well I know. We're still in a battle between what's left of Jeffersonian Republicanism, which equates to freedom, and Hamiltonian Federalism, which equates to big brother government.
I've always wondered where the leftists, in both parties, came up with "orange man." Orange was the color selected by the "Old Republicans" led by Rep. John Randolph of Roanoke, who split with Jefferson and Madison after they started to side more with the Federalists. Jackson was who Randolph supported, and he was the same president that 45 did as well.
Randolph described Old Republican values as: “love of peace, hatred of offensive war, jealousy of the state governments toward the general government, a dread of standing armies, a loathing of public debts, taxes, and excises; tenderness for the liberty of the citizen; jealousy, Argus-eyed jealousy of the patronage of the President.”
I might not agree with everything Randolph believed, such as elitism, but the words in that quotation, I do believe in. Of course, many that came from Britain (Virginias' First Families) were elitists during that time.
There's a good book on this, titled: The Roots of American Communism, by Draper. It explains what occurred, going back to the many German emigrants that flooded in during the 1800s. There are many others as well, which tell of Leon Trotsky, the Christian Socialists, their collegiate ties, the Rand School of Social Science, and how the infection began. The history of the "bad bishop" William Montgomery Brown is very telling.
