Who pays tariffs?

[shockedcanadian]

Gee, maybe I can get a Chinese bank account like your blob has.

You didn’t think that comment out very well, did you stupid?

Why are you so angry? You aren't espousing the manners of a gentleman and it weakens your argument. I urge you to reflect on your attitude and consider taking an anger management class at a locale near you that offers such services.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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

Who pays tariffs?​

I do, you too.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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

Biden raised tariffs?

Why are you so angry?

Angry? Not at all. I’m quite amused at your ramblings that are demonstrably false nearly 100% of the time.

I urge you to realize you’re in a cult and it’s not going to end well. Your blob admitted he lost today...after 4 years of your insistence that he didn’t, your orange god just pulled the rug out from under you.

Man...that’s gotta suck.

Biden raised tariffs?

No.

These tariffs have been applied for years now. The foreign produced goods should, by now, cost 2-4 times how much the domestically produced products.

Why don’t they?

Because the American retailers and suppliers have just raised their prices too to take advantage.

No.

Then tariffs didn't cause Bidenflation.

Please, show the math that makes you believe that.

Sounds super serious! What were their profit margins after all the gouging?

Trump tariffs - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Trump imposed tariffs on 18% of all products as of 2020.

That increases prices

That adds to inflation

China does and there will be more shortly.

 

[White 6]

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.

So, if the cost of goods sold, goes up, the seller would take in on the chin, drastically cutting gross profit margin on all imported items, regardless of business model, fixed cost, etc, simply out of the goodness of his heart? BS.

I take it, you are not a Business Grad.

Regardless of what the blog, "rps against Trump", thinks they invented, tariffs are a common use to force foreign countries to pay an additional tax on imports. Lakota Indians might need an additional lesson in International politics before they post nonsense like this.

Try reading that again.

In 2020, moron.

That's not the cause of Bidenflation.

Of course consumers pay the tariff

Trump knows that but argues that the tariffs hurt china more than they hurt us

Which they do

But as you note… they cost the consumer

Yes

And its well worth it

Yeah, the exact same people that pay corporate taxes. Now refute that hypocrite commie.

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.

 

[Mac-7]

Why?

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

 

[Mac1958]

Trump is going to outsmart those stupid Chinese.

Trump is going to devalue the US Dollar by 30%.

Gee, I wonder if the resulting inflation will destroy our savings & pay checks?

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.
