Who pays tariffs?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Did you know trump doesn't understand how tariffs work? But he's made them a lynchpin of his economic plan. Why doesn't that concern you?

Did you know that billyerock123 thinks median wage and average wage are the same thing?

you're just plain stupid ... not going to waste my time on you ...

you can't just discuss honestly and that's your pitfall. You get all wound up in knots when challenged because you have zero knowledge of it all.

I'm still waiting for the Fed data comparing apples to apples.

Or did you think your two data points were comparable? LOL!

You just got it you moron

It is you that had the zero knowledge and you prove it here over and over

In the future when I post something you either point out where it is wrong … why it’s wrong … these little bullshit responses you give here will get no further response from me … it will be saying to me I can’t refute your post so I’m going to attack you intellect … I’m done with your childish responses …either you go back to the original post and point out where I was wrong … if you don’t I will not respond to your childish ways.. you’ve been getting away with this behavior for too long …

See my multiple and lengthy answering of this question.

The U.S treasury takes in the funds. If a company chooses to pass that on to the consumer that is up to them, you as a consumer don't have to buy Made in China.

Tariffs are VERY popular worldwide. Best applied in my opinion to abusive trade nations or to reciprocate their tariff.

Now I am not a big supporter of tariffs except in strategic situations. As a technical reality though, in short, NO, consumers do NOT pay directly for the tariff.

Scenario 1:

• Foreign product costs $10K. Domestic product costs $12K. Government puts a $3K tariff on the foreign product. More domestic sales occur, but the consumer still pays $2K more.

Scenario 2:

• Foreign product costs $10K. There is no domestic equivalent. Government puts a $3K tariff on the foreign product. Consumer has to eat the increase.

Scenario 3:

• Foreign product costs $10K. Domestic product costs $12K. Government puts a $3K tariff on the foreign product. Domestic companies raise their price to $12.9K.

Our government has $3000 more revenue and China has $2000 less.
Would that make you sad?

still didn't answer the question

 

[Picaro]

Yes, it is consumers who end up paying the tariffs! Does anyone disagree?

So you think consumers should get free stuff?

 

[Picaro]

So you think consumers should get free stuff?

They should pay triple for buying crap made by slaves.

 

[billyerock123]

Hey, it's Bill Twat.

[billyerock123]

So you think consumers should get free stuff?yeah

Bad dodge.

And, end consumers pay for everything, in case you never took a business course.

 

[billyerock123]

seems your republican governor Mark Robinson want-a-be, thinks we should have slaves and you are complaining about china ??? why ??? you Republicans are trying to change the law where you too can have slaves ... so whats your problem

Bad dodge.

And, end consumers pay for everything, in case you never took a business course.

so finally learned something ...seems this answer doesn't work for you with the tariff problem of the consumer paying for the tariffs ...that you say they don't pay for ...

oh by the way there are no freebies... nobody gets free stuff everything you get is paid for ... by you and the rest of the taxpayers... even people on welfare are taxed .. seems it is you who needs a course on how business works ...
