Trump is using tariffs to pay our debt instead of increasing our taxes

Companies just pass down the cost of tariffs to the products. They're still paying for it

This is an antisemitic post debunked by AIPAC.

tariffs pay the deficit?

The customer pays the tariff not the importing company, not the exporting country... The consumer pays it.
Trump is too stupid to know this, or he knows it and doesn't care. It's essentially a tax on the already tax overburdened consumer.

i mean more tariffed goods---> raise in consumer prices---->demand falls---->production slows---->foreign companies lay off workers and close factories

its a slow process. The ceo's don't take an immediate hit.
if they haven't bailed before the layoffs then their share prices will mostly likely be devalued.

The customer pays the tariff not the importing company

wrong, also bot post

people only have so much money and the market will adjust to get that money at a profit, if people aren't spending they can't just keep prices high because they will lose out

it eats into the middleman's margins, that's how it always works out, always has too

That's not how it works.

It is, your classes aren't relevant. You just need to read about history.

Companies are more vulnerable than the consumer in such times. Consumers just need to keep the roof over their heads and bellies full and can postpone many expenses. Companies need to make payroll and rent too you know. And more!

You'll see. Your doom and gloom will turn into screeching as people turn away from certain large companies who are making a political cause of punishing the consumer.

if he repeals the federal income tax I'll personally hand-chisel him into Rushmore

No, it is not true because our debt is so high no amount of consumption taxes (what a tarriff is) on poor people/niggers can make up for it. Nigger healthcare is a minimum $400/day you're not making that up on plastic lawn chairs.

I work at a large manufacturer and 100% of our tariff impacted product prices are passed onto our buyers. The customer pays the tariff, we have the same profit margin per item sold. We literally get an invoice from customs and add the dollar amount to the affected item.

Companies need to make payroll and rent too you know. And more!

So we raise prices. This is how we continue making money.

it's simple: we, uh... KILL, the black man

It's what is being attempted. We had very few taxes 100 years ago, then people started voting for democrats offering free shit during the great depression. It actually extended the depression significantly and we are still suffering the consequences.

You fucking idiot. What do you think is going to all those jobs when no one is buying anything? They're called layoffs.
Jesus Christ you're fucking stupid. Let me guess. You're a plumber? Roofer? What menal retard job do you do?

The big beautiful bill that just passed in the house is estimated to add between 3 and 6 trillion to the US deficit per year, the same old same old keeps happening, the military industrial complex keeps getting boosted, the billionaires keep raking it in.
Trump's tariffs are a hail mary play to somehow magically grow the US economy to keep growing at a sufficient rate just to service the ever increasing debt.

raise prices

people stop buying your shit because they don't really need it

you go out of business

a company that's made of less greedy fucks notice an opportunity in the market

they fill it making your product but more affordable

the invisible hand of the market just bitch slapped your argument, faggot

If tarrifs don't work, why does nearly every other country have them against the US?

The irony is there was really nothing wrong with the economy in the first place. But, when you elect a literal moron...

>people stop buying your shit because they don't really need it

You need my product because we're the only company making specialty syringe gaskets in the entire country. Ever get a lipo suction? Or a kidney transplant? Or dialysis? You're using our product. We also make industrial roofing materials that has constant, very inelastic demand because people need roofs over their heads, which you yourself has said. When customs tells us it's going to cost $200 more per unit, we adjust our prices $200 up and inform the customer they owe us another $1,000 or we will warehouse it for the next guy. They either pay within a few days or the next guy pays. You will buy our product regardless.

Now, I'll concede and admit that nobody needs hasbro toys or iphones but when christmas is cancelled due to trump tarriffs and iphones cost $5,000 the average normie will revolt and vote out trump.

Anon Babble has been nothing but tariff glownigger spam since fucking january.
What's so fucking special about import tax that gets these jew niggers so fucking mad?

With Anon Babble you get a bunch of forklift drivers and laborers, who can barely read past an 8th grade level, larping as econ experts.
It's actually pretty lol

You spent 4 years bitching about biden inflation and then turn around and immediately celebrate direct government mandated inflation. We are just laughing st you and your retardation

I work at a large manufacturer and 100% of our tariff impacted product prices are passed onto our buyers.

Maybe for now, your customers are currently resenting you and calling other manufacturers I guarantee it. I used to be in charge of parts for a medium aerospace firm and we didn't tolerate things like this.

You raise prices and customers go somewhere else unless you're the sole source. Don't worry you'll see soon.

They are jews and they are worried about America succeeding, and that they might lose a sheckle in the process.

Tariffs are a tax retard and they’ve been raised. We’re all paying more taxes now

At some point it literally becomes cheaper to build it yourself. Someone will do it. I'd be willing to do it but I'm not moving to Arizona to do it

You can't flaunt a college education like it makes your current understanding a fact. That's what a PhD is. However if you don't buy the product because it's so expensive who is exactly paying the tariff?
Oh, nobody, because the tariffed goods didn't get sold.
Besides we need to nuke the shipping sector for burning the shit bunker fuels for decades.

Our inflation is at 2.31%, and falling. Employment is up as well, and beyond that, it's actually citizens getting jobs.

I didn't do anything you fucking retard. What the fuck would you know about me? Are you my fairy fucking godmother? Go kill yourself.

No one is going to build factories whose entire business model relies on extremely high tariffs staying up forever to be viable

Tariffed imported products will be about the same price as local stuff anyway so there is no reason to stop importing

The last inflation data was from before tariffs increased prices, you are utterly delusional if you think inflation is going down in this environment

Trump isn't using taxes

He's using tariffs

It's kinda true, but we still pay taxes and the tariffs are still effectively a tax on Americans, because importers just pass the cost on.

This whole scenario is literally only worse for your average American.

Oh, nobody, because the tariffed goods didn't get sold.

They do get sold. Customers just pay more. You can't avoid certain purchases like building materials, tools, tool bits, tape or glue. Trump decided you will be paying more for less.

For example, car tires. If your car tire blows, you are not going to work until you buy a new car tire. If the new tire costs $450 + Tariff you will pay the Tariff instead of being bankrupt, poor and homeless. You will pay Trump's taxes.

It's assessed monthly. Those are the numbers for April. Hate to burst your bubble.

Tariffs are the same as tax increase

It's amazing how boomers can't meme

Correct, tariffs barely affected prices in April because everyone was running down inventory and teying to avoid raising prices in case the tariffs came off. Now the prices are coming up

the great depression.

Smoot Hawley tariffs did that which were a bipartisan thing

it's true
rich citizens buy more item with tariff, hence the rich pay for american debt.

Only if they continue buying foreign goods, retard.

NO! He's going to use it to pay his rich buddies' some tax breaks, you know? "Welfare" for the rich and privileged! And he's taxing you for it! The "Big Beautiful Bill is a huge spending bill! "We" have a new and puzzling political phenomenon - The 'Tax and Spend' Righter than Right 'christain' Republicans, Government intrusion, not laissez-faire! And, of course, Republicans hate poor people as they always have, and are doing their best to make them more miserable!
