I didn't vote for long term tariffs.

[dblack]

Tafiffs try to keep jobs and money circulation to your own country.

They raise money for govt.

Tell me about VAT and how they are a back door tariff against U.S. goods?

Why do you keep asking about VAT??? I don't support that shit either.

Is it a back door Tariff. Yes or No?

No, I would say it differs considerably. A tariff is an "incentive" - to discourage people from buying something from certain countries' businesses. It's an attempt to manipulate behavior (eg to get people to buy American products). The point of a tax is to generate revenue for the government.

VAT is used against us in Europe. Why American cars arent really sold there.

10% of a Cadillac Tariff. VAT. Then it costs $13000 over BMW.

BMW wins

How is VAT "used against you"? Every product is subject to VAT.

Ok. Are they taxing buyers of American cars more than they are taxing buyers of European cars? If so, that does sound like a tariff. It's an attempt to punish people who buy American cars. Trump wants to punish people who buy from Mexico or Canada, or whatever harebrained shit he's cooking up.

10% tariff. 20% vat. But we pay sales taxes on all products used to build the car before export.

Were is that CREDIT applied? We are at about 2% tariff on them.

Cool. What's your point?

 

[Dr.Destructo]

You WHINERS and TODDLER TANTRUM throwers don't comprehend business at all.

 

[eagle1462010]

Cool. What's your point?

That we get taxed twice going there and charged 8% more on tariffs

 

[dblack]

That we get taxed twice going there and charged 8% more on tariffs

We don't get taxed. Their consumers get taxed.

 

[Contumacious]

I voted for Trump to lower prices. I voted for him not to cause trade wars with other countries. Now we're all going to see price increases.

Psst Psst

Let me tell you a secret

Really hate price increases ?

Buy the products from countries which are not subjected to tariffs.

Easy peasy

 

[eagle1462010]

We don't get taxed. Their consumers do.

We tax parts throughout our construction of vehicles. Sales tax on everything. Then second tax with VAT.

Do they have sales tax added to their VAT?

Exactly. "Do as you're told."

That's what tariffs are.

Beats me. Again, what is your point?

 

[eagle1462010]

That it is NOT FREE OR EVEN FAIR TRADE USED AGAINST US.

 

[Contumacious]

Exactly. "Do as you're told."

That's what tariffs are.

Good neighbors don't allow 15 million illegals and/or fentanyl distrubutors to use their countries as stepping stones leading into our country.

 

[dblack]

That it is NOT FREE OR EVEN FAIR TRADE USED AGAINST US.

The capslock key is right above the shift key. Easy to accidentally hit while typing.

Anyway, those policies are primarily unfair to their people. I think it would be dumb to emulate them here.

I hope those willing to endure the economic hardship so we can stick it to other countries can justify to me why this was necessary. Why did we need these tariffs when we could have done something to ease the pain here in America?

Another (wink, wink) Constituent with buyers remorse? LMAO. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Pick Your Fighter......Make fun of a child with cancer when his "make a wish" comes true.......hold up a sign PAY MORE TAXES........... Trump beats the hell out of the WAR MONGERS on the left. War is very profitable......

Who do ya suppose WE THE PEOPLE would rather pay INCOME TAXES........WE THE PEOPLE or other nations that have been cheating the People of the US for decades?
