Tariffs are an import tax and therefore the importing company pays them.
So, if Trump raises import tariffs, those will be paid by Americans.
How do you not understand that?
Wouldn't the importing company just purchase the same product domestically, assuming it's available, in order to avoid the tariff?
I was just asking for your opinion, btw. No reason to be such a bitch about it.
Yeah, good luck with that. Do you seriously believe that the US produces everything that the economy needs?
Are you that fucking ignorant?
Do you have any idea about modern supply chains?
So are you suggesting that someone won't choose to fill that gap if there's demand for a product?
Do you have any understanding of how capitalism works?
So you are suggesting that everything that the US economy needs is readily available in the US, in enough quantities and at the same prices as current imports?
Be careful how you answer this.
