I don't understand business and finance. Shouldn't we just raise the tariffs on all countries to make them pay for everything?
I don't understand business and finance...
Just trust whatever Trump says. He is looking out for us common folk. Put your faith in Him.
If you still haven't yet grasped the fact that it's the importing party that pays the tariffs then you are beyond help.
Tariffs make a country’s goods more expensive to import, which is why America is interested in getting the other countries to drop their tariffs on American goods.
Imagine an economy with no tariffs.
This intervention situates Trump’s fascist tariff regimes within the necropolitical continuum of settler-colonial extractivism while centering the EU’s censorship apparatus as a **queer feminist praxis of radical care**. By weaponizing trade as a tool of **cisheteropatriarchal capitalism**, Trump perpetuates epistemicide against Global South femmes, whereas the EU’s **Digital Services Act 2027** enacts a *trauma-informed* counterhegemony to safeguard marginalized ontologies. Democracy—not as liberal proceduralism but as **embodied decolonial resistance**—is under siege by MAGA’s white supremacist revanchism.
Are you actually trump himself? Shitposting on biz?
Foreign countries don't pay a single cent with tariffs. Americans that buy imported goods do.
that was trump's retarded plan, yes
but he had to back down when countries started dumping US bonds
Imagine an economy with no tariffs.
We pretty much almost had that until fairly recently. Average tarrif on US goods in most countries was only a couple percent and only for certain items.
Shouldn't we just raise the tariffs on all countries to make them pay for everything?
make them pay for what? selling us their shit because we're the biggest consumer? or because american CEOs decide it's cheaper to put factories in SEA countries?
Average tarrif on US goods in most countries was only a couple percent
not even close to being true
yes it is true, retard
i know it sounds dumb but that's how dumb trump is
yes it is true
Kek, no it really, really isn't.
source? the wto tarrif website says that was the case
It's because they're retarded and use gross averages country by country. It isn't. It is sector by sector/industry by industry.
The argument is about BLANKET TARIFFS vs DISCRETE TARIFFS. EU had SHITLOADS of discrete tariffs all over the place. So does every other nation. To pretend otherwise is retarded.
VAT ISN'T A TARIFF
Typical pilpuling kikery
why do I need a source for your fucking claim?
but VAT obviously isn't a tariff
If it's one of those "average tariff rate" estimates it's not entirely accurate, some country might have 8% average but anyone buying imports is paying much more than that because the low/nonexisting tariffs are for shit nobody wants to import. Also the US tends to rely more on subsidies and quotas than tariffs for protection.
Get a job, commie
it accomplishes the same effect of keeping our goods out you snake
You need a source for your claim that my figures (from the WTO website) are incorrect.
have some faith arthur, i have a plan i just need tariffs
How does it do that when it raises the price of domestic goods in the exact same manner as imported ones?
No it doesn't, the rate is the same for all products whether domestic or foreign meaning the choice between one or the other isn't affected for consumers.
imagine believing the WTO
OK, so show me your superior source
Stop with that Meme that's being parroted by the mainstream normies. Foreign countries will pay for the tariffs you just watch they will literally be paying the American people and Americans are going to get rich from other countries paying us back.
Shouldn't we just raise the tariffs on all countries to make them pay for everything?
You're paying it retard
You're the one paying, retard-kun.
No, sorry I don't think I will.
It really was true. If you are from the tribe that believes a trade deficit and VAT is a tariff, maybe you should read some more?
Literally go on amazon.com right now and place an order with a zipcode from Oregon (no sales tax), then change it to a zipcode from Alabama (high sales tax) and watch what happens. Tariffs are a consumption tax and consumption taxes are paid by the consumer.
The decrease in sales is a loss for the seller.
he doesn't need any source ok?? just saying WTO dumb is good enough ok??
Don’t worry kitten, just trust the plan or whatever
trade deficit and VAT is a tariff
I agree that those are not tariffs, but there are tariffs in place that cause a fucking trade deficit you midwit.
is this just a bait or not? because if it's not then I'm willing to write a longer post
Yeah because you're a tard that buys nothing anyway
You have no alternatives for plenty of goods lmao
It's true of all taxes that overall consumption is decreased. The point is VATs are trade-neutral as they don't privilege domestic producers like tariffs do.
Importers pay tariffs since they buy the shit from overseas. They pay to bring it in, and pay the tariff. Now they've paid the price for the goods, and the costs of getting it to the US (tariff is one of these, shipping is another), How are they going to get their money back, plus a healthy profit to make all this worthwhile for them, now that we've made the cost to import the goods higher? Prices go up. This is really basic economics.
If there were a local industry to give a price advantage to, this would have a purpose, but in many cases there just isn't, and all you accomplish is inflated prices for goods.
Reading this you almost feel sorry for these migatards. But only almost though haha
Just one more little tariff and a whole lotta faith. Thats all we need and we'll be kicking our feet up in Tahiti, Anon! Be more like Micah, why don't you. He has faith! He trusts the plan! Thats why he's in the cabinet!
