Changing the subject, to taxes

Since a tariff is really paid by the purchaser, the US citizen, this is the biggest tax increase in decades:

If you think Tariffs are really paid by consumers, who do you think really pays corporate income taxes?

The purchaser !!!

Over the past 5 or 6 months I've read 1,000+ postings here and elsewhere proclaiming that consumers will be the ones paying the tariffs.

But until this moment, I haven't seen a single post here or elsewhere reminding everyone that it's the consumers who really pay corporate and business income taxes. Taxes are a business expense, just like salary, insurance, etc.. The higher the taxes, the higher the business has to charge for what it sells.

@Heartlander and what is your point?

@samueltyler2

The point is pretty obvious.

Corporate taxes INCREASE the prices we have to pay for stuff and Democrats yell for HIGHER corporate taxes.

Those same Democrats yell at Trump for raising tariff rates, complaining that they will increase the prices we pay.

SO..... why aren't Democrats yelling for lower corporate taxes??
