Tariffs encourage Americans to buy U.S.-made products because doing so is patriotic. Is this true? why or why not.

It is not true. Tariffs put taxes on imported goods. They have nothing to do with patriotism.

Is there a web site you got this from or somehere I could get moe information, or cou;d you explain it deeper. I have to do a paper and its due tomorrow, and I need to have at least 100 words for it.

P.S.
Thank you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff

I could not find it in there well not anything that will get 100 words please help me

That site defines and describes tariffs in far more than 100 words.

You can also look up patriotism for a definition.

Just defining the two terms -- patriotism and tariffs will take much of the 100 words. Then you can show how patriotism has nothing to do with tariffs and why Americans buy certain goods.

thank you

hmmmm? so tell me what a tariff is?
