So will Mexico pay the extra 20% or will the cost be added to what the American consumer pays?

Yes it would do just that. But it also makes it more of an incentive to buy from goods not sold in Mexico. It would be devastating to them, which is why they will realize it's much cheaper to just help pay for the wall.

Do you have any clue how much American business goes to mexico? 20% tax Mexico will surely counter with, along with declining Mexican consumer situation will be painful for our business too and cause disruption and pain for everyone not to mention a steep decline in relations with our neighbor...and for what? Retarded Trumpster wall fancies?

For their refusal to accept responsibility for generations of illegals costing us billions.

So you guys are suddenly against American made?

U.S. considering 20% tax on imports to pay for border wall, White House says

Gee, I wonder who will pay that 20% tax.

How will buying American pay for the wall Trump wants to finance with 20% tax American consumers will have to pay?

That's what I was thinking. So I pay 20% more for something and who is paying for this wall again?

If you're going to spend 20% more for a Mexican product, then you're stupid enough to pay for it. See, it works.

Well, if you're dumb enough to want to pay 20% more for something don't call others stupid, esp if you're moniker is Meathead and you voted for Trump;

The peso was tumbling Thursday after Mexico's president, Enrique Peña Nieto, announced he had canceled a meeting scheduled for next week with President Donald Trump.

The peso was down by 1.2% at 21.3175 per dollar as of 11:57 a.m. ET.

The currency had been up by as much as 0.8% at 20.9358 per dollar at about 8:50 a.m. ET.

The peso is tumbling after Mexico's president said he wouldn't meet with Trump
​

What do you think it's going to look like tomorrow, after this announcement?

If you don't see this as economic muscle flexing...you don't understand Trump yet.

Mexico's President will reconsider his position on meeting Trump within the next five days.

...all of which means Mexican exports are getting more competetive.

When China devalues it's currency they get called cheaters looking for competetive edge, but when Trump's air pushing devalues Mexican currency that's smart?

I can't help but think Ford has known about this for sometime now.

When did the left become so anti American?

 

[TheOldSchool]

lol It means that if this becomes law, Ford will have to assemble the cars in the US or lose market share.

And sell the car for $30,000.

They'll probably just stop making it and Mexico and the U.S. will lose jobs. Trump's scorched earth policy right there.

Use your head, Ford can't raise prices without losing market share. Business is optimistic about President Trump because he is promising to cut corporate taxes and lowering unnecessary regulations so that Ford and other companies can move their facilities back here without having to raise prices.

You live in a fantasy world. Cutting the corporate tax and regulations won't offset the cost of Ford having to pay way more to produce the same or less amounts of product. Less profit = less jobs. Unless part of Trump's plan is massive subsidies for Ford or dramatically lowering the American standard of living.

Cutting taxes and removing regulations will lower Ford's cost of production so that it can maintain profit margins without raising profits.

That shit won't cover having to pay thousands of people $50,000 a year instead of $10,000. Tariffs are wealth destroyers. Fact.

 

[bendog]

And that's how you pay for the wall

US Consumers you mean.

The Trumpbots don't even see it. It would be funny if not reality. Alternate facts, I suppose.

Hate to break it to ya but you already pay more for a Ford truck Than you do for a Tundra.

Hell, they cheered it on.

 

[Avatar4321]

It's amazing how the left finally understands what conservatives have been saying for years about taxes now that we have a Republican president who isn't conservative proposing them on Mexican products.

places in Africa would like our business as well

They make a lot of flat screen TV's in Africa do they?

You don't get much of anything right do you doggy? You're an absolute mental and intellectual train-wreck.

Idiot, it is not Mexican responsibility to secure OUR borders and pay for our immigration policies.

Trump's demand that they do is highly insulting and damaging to our relationship. Mexicans will not just rollever like a little doggy, they have some national pride and will not tolerate that sort of treatment, just as we never would.
