Just to be clear and consistent and not be hypocritical, we all oppose retaliatory tariffs, right?

No we don't oppose it.  You can't just let someone bully you into paying them arbitrarily higher taxes.  The point of imposing retaliatory tariffs is to motivate them to remove theirs.  

They didn't start the fight but they can't just lay down and take it.  You comment is kinda like saying sell defense when your attacked is hypocritical.   

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question. 

You're not paying the higher taxes, American companies are. If you retaliate then you'll pay more.
