Explain to me like I am a 5th grader.... Who pays tariffs?

[bendog]

It has everything to do with it.

No tariffs against Americans, no tariffs against Canadians.

So simple that even you can understand it.

Fo. YOUR POSTS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS ON BEER THAT ARE MISTAKENLY NOT TIED TO ALUMINUM.

 

[otto105]

Canada can avoid all of this by dropping every tariff they hold against the USA. Then we'll drop our tariffs and its all chumy and gets buds once again.

They will drop when the shitler! who started this crap moves first.

President Trump showed numbers right here? Yet BoardStain say this is false?

While true the company will hit a wall price-wise.

The consumer will decide that maybe I really don't need their Chi-Com made rubber dog puke.

A US company in a right to work state will decide that there's money to be made selling US made rubber dog puke and will start production.

That’s called inflation. You guys are so weird to be ok with inflation driven by your Orange god but you flipped the fuck out over world wide inflation driving by a pandemic. I think you guys are a cult like this planet has never seen.

No specific examples.

Do Foreign Exporters Pay Tariffs?​

Depending on the Incoterms used, foreigner exporters in general do not pay for the tariffs. The cost falls on the importer at the border. But that does not mean exporters are not affected. If their products become too expensive, they risk losing sales.

Some foreign suppliers lower their prices to stay competitive. A Chinese electronics company selling laptops to the U.S. may offer discounts to help importers cover the tariff.

Others try to work out deals with importers. A fabric supplier in Vietnam might agree to share some of the extra costs caused by tariffs. This helps importers avoid raising prices too much while allowing exporters to keep selling in the same markets. These adjustments help businesses stay afloat, but they do not remove the impact of tariffs. The cost still needs to be covered somewhere in the chain.

Can you post what exactly what those numbers represent.

 

[citygator]

I particularly liked this gop rep/car dealer.

People will get used to paying 5-10K more for a car, and they'll be ok with it.

Well. Someone should drop the news that people don’t get “used” to higher prices. They adjust their habits to spend less. That drives a recession. If prices go up 10% we need 10-20% fewer of those expensive things. That means we need 10-20% fewer people making/selling/moving/servicing those things. That means mass unemployment and a blue wave. Awesome.

 

[bendog]

Darkwind's full of shit. Canada could drop all tariffs, and the auto industry would still be fucked up. Trump's not hiding. His demand is that all products consumed here be made here. And that would increase prices.

Of course anyone trying to defend Trump's illogical musing will be full of shit.

This from a columnist at the Wash Examiner.
But also, the biggest issue with the tariffs in my estimation is how they estimated that reciprocal amount, it is not actually based on what trade.gov, which is the Trump administration's official trade website. They say Vietnam only has an average effective tariff of 15% but on the tariff sheet it says 90. Taiwan 6% tariffs sheet says 32%, Switzerland only has 1.7% average tariff rate on our impor- on our exports and yet Trump claims that they tariff us 61%. And it's because they use this incredibly crude algorithm of doing the trade deficit of a given country divided by the number of imports we have from that country. That's not what a nontariff barrier should mean, it should mean things like environmental bans, carbon taxes, GMO bans and whatnot.

And then there was a previous link about Trump wanting a tariff on alumimum, so they tax bottled beer.

My guess is that the Maga simpletons running this show simply want all of America's consumption be delivered by American mftring in the US.

Really?

When you use dog whistle terms like "cult" nobody (except your own disgusting ilk) takes you seriously. I sure as hell don't.

I'm just thankful that those like yourself are out of power to perpetuate any short-term downturn to serve their own ends. No printing money no end this go-round.

Huh?

So Trump and his team are all wrong because you know better? Huh? They've been working on it for months and maybe years? You? $38T is good? $2T good. $28T since 09'?

Sorry, that's all your getting from me.

 

[candycorn]

Sometimes the foreign manufacturer and the importer share the cost of the tariff.

Here is your original lie.

I can’t blame you for wanting to run from it. Stretch first.

Look it up for yourself, and report back.

Look it up for yourself.

I can’t...as you’ve proven; there is no instance where exporters have paid the tariffs.... Even though you said there was.

Take your defeat like a man--the man you claim to be.

 

[Cougarbear]

Can any MAGA supporter please explain which answers are correct below?

Who pays the tariff?

A) A company in a foreign country ships an item to the US and then mails a check or wires money to the US government to cover the tariff

B) The US company pays the US government when it picks up the shipment at the port

Also curious...

What happens when a tariff is increased?

A) The company in a foreign country simply sends a bigger check to the US government and gets by with less profit

B) The US company pays the US government more money when it picks up the shipment at the port and raises its prices to cover the higher cost which is paid by the US consumer

Stop being so simple minded and one directional. We are 40 trillion dollars in debt which will tank America. You think things cost a lot now, when the piper comes calling for that money, there will be no middle class America. It will be like a communist country, the rich and the poor only in food lines. This will take some time but will work. Be patient and not political.

You're about as dumb as they get on this forum.

For decades, Canada and other nations have been raping the United States. Now they whine like little bitches when the tables are turned and all they need to do is drop their tariffs and the Unite States will drop ours.

But you, like the other treasonous POS on this forum are all about fucking the US over and holding the rest of the world blameless.
