Tariffs are taxes paid by the consumer.Tariffs are bad. All they do is end up raising prices across the board.
Tariffs are higher prices paid VOLUNTARILY by the consumer and risked by the importer if they wish to continue to buy a now more expensive import product rather than switching to a now more competitively priced alternative.
Tariffs are mainly a leveraging tool which ultimately punishes a foreign trading partner for not allowing a more equal, fairer trade policy.
Tariffs go away and are unneeded when a foreign trade partner, tired of the harm to his own GDP who has more to lose than you, finally agrees to more fair trade practices.
Arguing against tariffs is the same as arguing FOR Red China, an economic, social, political and military enemy.
Please, if you're going to open your mouth, do tell the WHOLE story.
