You do understand that tariffs are paid by the consumer, right?

Cool, so you are gonna apply that same logic to raising the minimum wage and every other type of tax, right?

>>512221821 (OP)
all taxes are paid by the consumer, yes

it's called inflation

>>512221821 (OP)
Then why is Europe and Brazil crying about them?

What's that mean?

>>512221821 (OP)
>>512221983

all costs are paid by the consumer

a business is a race to recoup costs

if there's profit, that's used to grow economically (investment)

let me know if you have any further questions

>>512222056
We're not. Meat and coffee prices went down here.

>>512221821 (OP)
>Brazilian can't understand incentivizing domestic production
probably because your #1 export is block-shouldered troons

>>512221821 (OP)
Do you understand that tariffs are used to make your products more competitive against imports and to encourage local production.

>>512221821 (OP)
Thanks for worrying about me, I’m sure you and the other foreigners are only looking out for me.

>>512222218
you're mom went down on me last night

what's your point?

>>512222223
wasted

>>512222056
because it does affect exporting companies too, they sell less, they don't want to sell less

>>512221983

Yes whenever some suburban socialist is blathering about taxing big corporations or "free" healthcare he is leaving out the part where the costs will be passed on to you.

Trump is trying to transition the US from an Angloid nation into South American one form circa 1960, you should welcome this.

>>512221821 (OP)
No but I understand my dick up your ass

>>512222223
>incentivizing domestic production
>puts 50% tariffs on raw materials such as steel and aluminum
nice

And not a single fuck was given.

By the way, enjoy the 39% price jump for your medication, 'lards.

>>512221821 (OP)
We should be taxing consumption from imports. This will harm our enemies. We can use this to reduce income tax.

>>512222002
Wrong.
Inflation is the loss in buying power due to debasement of the currency.
Counting tariffs as inflation is assanine and gives our adversaries control over our monetary policy.
Anyone advocating for tariffs to be counted as inflation is effectively lobbying for the interest of China.

>>512221821 (OP)
Then why does every nation tariff US made goods, you niggerbrain? So they can tax themselves?
You Jews aren’t the smartest.

>>512224950
What's wrong with defending the interest of the country that actually bought yours?

GET DE GET DEMN FERNERS OUT OF ER COUNTRY

>>512225027
We tariff them to protect our own industries. That's how they're supposed to work.

Kind of counterintuitive though when you tariff things that can't be made in the US. Or if you can't possibly have enough domestic supply.

>>512221821 (OP)
Coffee has now become unaffordable

>>512225027
We don't except for your shitty beef and soja, by the way.
