Who pays tariffs?

[Lesh]

Because being dependent on communist china can be fatal to our economic freedom and security

We are dependent on Chinese products . Tariffs just make them cost more

Tariffs are paid by US companies every country importing products. These companies then pass the costs on to the consumers.

That's a wash. Now talk policy.

It’s not a wash. The POINT of a tariff is to make the imported goods more expensive TO THE CONSUMER

All countries have such tariffs, so it is a wash. Now talk policy.

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

Who pays for an increase in corporate taxes? How is that any different? In both cases, the increase is passed on to the consumers. The big difference is that placing a tariff on an import and keeping corporate taxes low encourages domestic production of that import because they feel like they can be competitive. Raising corporate taxes and not placing tariffs on imports does the opposite because domestic corporations are unable to compete with imported goods.

Tariffs limit chinese products in America

For instance make chinese EVs so expensive that no one will buy them

The tariffs also triggered the extended American manufacturing recession in 2019.

Limbaugh told these people that the (R) after their name made them economic geniuses. And of course, they believed him.

Meh.
Harris thinks wasting trillions of tax dollars on green energy is going to save us by creating low productivity "green jobs".

Do you think EVs are the only products imported?

You’d make virtually everything we buy more expensive.

Thanks

“Low productivity “ green jobs?

Where are you getting that from?

If they face competition, of course. I was in my MBA if it matters. You are the one who has been duped. the prices of producing prodicts went down significantly when manufacturers shipped their jobs overseas. Yet, have you ever seen a big price decrease as a consumer? In theory, if they make a car in Mexico or China, the price of the prodict should go down,.right? it didnt, they just increased their margins. Well now, the tarriff they pay may provide opportunity for the local manufacturer to have a level playing field for some of the slave labor wages and lack of environmental rules their competitiors.enjoy in communist China for instance. Its not ideal, but what other tools.do you have to.reign in China? It will.also allow the U.S to negotiate harder with China to demand thst they consume U.S products. There is a reason Biden didnt lift tariffs.

Price on established products is whatever the market will bear. Cost new costs savings, rarely get passed to consumers, accustomed to the old price. So, do cars get sold for less than market value, due to moving production to Mexico? NO. I hope no company depended on your accumen from your MBA. Most investors would rather have the money and return on investment of their stock purchase dollars.
You and Donald can keep your new tariff wars to fund tax relief to the oligarchy, as tariffs are always bad for the consumer, the ones paying the costs. Luckily, you will not have a vote.

Is raising corporate taxes bad for the consumer? This is what Democrats want.

EVs figure heavily in the chicom’s plans to dominate the US and germany

EV’s are a sacred cow for libs who are obsessed with the climate change doomsday hoax

 

[Nostra]

Just like the corporate taxes you clowns are always bleating about raising.....passed on to the consumer.

 

[Nostra]

There is your inflation right there (in some cases).

Why wasn't inflation high under Trump, Simp

 

[hadit]

That's odd. What tariffs did Quid Pro Joe impose that caused inflation to take off so steep right after he took office?

Did an EV steal your lunch?

New costs like higher taxes?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The U.S treasury takes in the funds. If a company chooses to pass that on to the consumer that is up to them,

yes, the same as any other tax.

All you said was that tariff’s raise prices, which I have already conceded

While ignoring my point about your beloved EV’s

 

[KissMy]

Import companies pay tariffs. It cuts their profits. If they attempt to pass along tariffs by raising prices, customers will buy from non-tariff competitors.
