Please try to understand the following, it might save you embarrassment in the future.Maybe because the " far left loons " are smart enough to know it is the CONSUMER that ends up paying the tariffs NOthe country / company that exports their goods to the USA or the retailers selling the goods , you MAGA morons are too stupid to understand that.
And the MAGAS like you won't start saying a word about it until it its you in the pocketbook by that time it will be too late.
Again, I'll point out the obvious, when you buy American, tariffs aren't an issue. And only a complete dimwit would argue against reciprocal tariffs, as Trump rightly demands. If other countries slap us with high tariffs, why shouldn't we return the favor? It's called fairness, look it up. That said, I know you're just parroting the narrative like a good drone so I'll aim at all libtards, not just a soldier like you.
So, let's address the brilliance of the libtard mind. They've suddenly become economic scholars, preaching that consumers bear the full brunt of tariffs. (Spoiler: it's not that simple, but we'll dumb it down for the dumbasses for now) Yet these same masterminds cheer for hiking corporate taxes without a hint of irony. Newsflash: corporate taxes are always passed on to consumers. There's no mythical Mr. Corporate footing the bill, every penny of those taxes gets baked into higher prices. But somehow, that's fine with the left. Consistency isn't their strong suit.
Here's where tariffs and corporate taxes part ways, pay attention, because this is where it gets good. Corporate taxes are a direct hit: companies raise prices to cover the cost, no questions asked. It's simple math, even for those who flunked econ.
Tariffs, however, are a different beast. When a foreign company faces a new tariff, they've got choices. Is their widget exclusive to their country, or can it be sourced elsewhere with a lower tariff? Better yet, is there an American producer ready to step in with zero tariff? Depending on the answers, that foreign company might have to eat the tariff to stay competitive, meaning little to no price hike for consumers. In some cases, they'll slash their profit margins just to keep a foothold in the world's greatest market, ours.
And here's the kicker, if the widget isn't made here yet, foreign companies still have to tread carefully. Jack up prices too much, and an American company might start producing it, snatching that market share for good. That's why foreign suppliers are scrambling to cut deals and avoid losing their slice of the American pie.
So, dear libtard, care to explain why you're suddenly tax experts when it suits your narrative? Maybe take a break from the sanctimonious lectures and grasp the difference between tariffs and corporate taxes. Or is that too much for your enlightened minds to handle? That's a rhetorical question, we all know the answer.
