TARRIFFS...THOUGHTS???

I can see a negative impact on American Consumers.
What solution could be in place as to not cause a terrible impact, food, gas, hardline or softline merchandise?

Of course tariffs would have a negative impact on American consumers, but no more than every other tax does. What do you suppose a gallon of gasoline e would be without Federal, State, and local taxes on it?

@MyGirlPhotoswell Your argument makes no sense. How much do you suppose a gallon of gasoline will be now, with Federal, State, Local taxes AND the tariffs?

@SW-User no sense? The point, and one I hope you are intentionally pretending to miss, is that tariffs are nothing but a tax.
SW-User
@MyGirlPhotoswell Yes, no sense! They may be nothing but a tax, but this "tax" is now going to be added onto the Federal, State, and Local taxes. In other words, Higher Taxes!

@SW-User that’s the point! Taxes raise the price for consumers! If you haven’t any problem with US corporations being taxed by the Federal Government, then why would a corporate tax placed on Chinese Corporations seemingly give you so much heartburn? Either you are in denial of your own hypocrisy or you are more protective of Chinese economy over the U.S. economy. Which is it?

@SW-User you are a sorely uninformed person with the mind of a juvenile. It’s obvious you would rather see any foreign economy to just not rival the U.S. economy, but dwarf it. Your pretentious act of only being concerned for the welfare of the American consumer is as fake as Biden being completely “focused and mentally sharp”— let me guess, you’re all down with the “social justice” thing,, which is nothing but a front for Marxism, for those smart enough to recognize that. You probably pretend to “hate the rich” when in fact you really hate that you’re not rich. But I’m willing to call a halt to any tariffs, if you will agree to call for the removal of all corporate taxes on American companies and save the American consumer those added cost.

@MyGirlPhotoswell Watch those prices continue to rise; watch inflation continue to rise, watch your paycheck fall.

You Americans asked for this. You got it. No sympathy here.

@SW-User once again, you purposely miss the point. Tariffs have the same effect on the final price of goods as taxes do. If you are in support of the US Government taxing American Corporations then you must be ok with the US taxing China Corporations. Why do you want to cut the US Government's tax revenue?

@MyGirlPhotoswell Not missing the point at all. The tariffs are simply Trump's way of making himself look big to the Base, and the costs of the tariffs will then be passed on to American consumers in the form of higher prices, and yes, higher tax rises.
