Why shouldn't tariffs be listed on receipts and bills just like sales tax...

Why shouldn't tariffs be listed on receipts and bills just like sales tax? The customer pays the import duty they have a right to know, why hide this from the American public?

This seems like one of those things that someone is trying to trick me into having an opinion on

This is the first time I have ever seen liberals fighting against a corporate tax

be Amazon

refuse to add a Made in America filter option

be happy to add a tariff surcharge clearly for everyone to see though

Well I guess we know who Bezos works for.

why can't we know the wholesale price of what the store pays so we know how much we are being ripped off 1 post by this id kike?

corporate tax

It all gets passed on to the consumer. It's a completely regressive tax.

Leftists basically transformed into free market capitalists overnight. It's actually hilarious. Possibly the worst self-own in recent political history. The anti-capitalist stuff was the only aspect of leftist politics that was popular with the masses and they've thrown it away because Trump is orange or something. What does the left even stand for now other than weird sex fetishes and hating white people?

All corporate taxes get passed on to the consumer.

So do all taxes on corporations and the rich.

Let's be real it's just about hating whites

Because making additions to software costs money and time.
People are inherently lazy beyond things that prolong lifespan like food, sleep, and hydration, and even less, acquiring funds for things unrelated to that trio.

It all gets passed on to the consumer.

So does every other tax on corporations. That is the dirty little secret they will never tell you. Payroll? Passed onto the consumer. Corporate tax? Also passed on. It’s almost as if taxes not being passed onto the consumer is a mythological being that doesn’t exist.

It has been extremely convenient to not buy chinknese products
Also fun to see how much companies are scamming you

One of the best things amazons done desu

The customer pays the import duty they have a right to know

No. The consumer does not pay the import duty, nor does the consumer pay the sales tax.

Better yet, why not force them to disclose the unit cost of each and every "product" made by Chinese children? That way everyone can see they are making money hand over fist for products that cost them pennies to "make". Also, you are a retard.

Because you have the freedom to choose another product based on price and demand. Taxes and tariffs are mandatory government lean, you have no choice.

Because nobody gives a fuck about it. Just more bullshit clutter on screen.

this! along with wholesale price there should be manufacture and landed price so we know how we're being charged 30,000x the actual price because every jew and their family member needs to get their cut

Corporate tax

<<--look how little corporations pay

Devin Puke can go fuck himself, he isn't owed an explanation, he deserves bird shot to the face.

The reason why the left threw away their ideology re ecenomy and taxes is because the opposing power block (the right) are doing something and whatever it is it can’t be allowed. That’s literally the dynamic at play, ideology has literally nothing to do with it, it’s only decoration for the messaging. NO ONE moves on ideology, they move on wealth (or access to / promise of). Shills shill whatever they need to shill and everyone signals whatever they need to signal to maintain their societal power block affiliation.

Nobody is forcing any companies to put the tariffs line into their software.
What kiked Trump is trying to change is force them to not display it, which is probably a 1st Amendment violation.

But it's not like Trump cares about 1st Amendment of course, he only cares about jews not having their feelfeels hurt

Ozark Mountain boy here. Last week I got it in my head I needed them Yeezy Season 10 Women’s Slingback Heels in Bone, size 13—don’t ask me why. Just saw ‘em on my cousin’s OnlyFans and said hell, maybe I deserve nice things too.

Found ‘em online through a Korean fashion plug. Total cost after “emergency protection tariffs” and “counterfeit mitigation surcharges”? $1,022.43.

I felt like I’d been mugged by Ronald Reagan’s ghost.

Wasn’t even mad at Kim. I was mad at myself. Sat there in my truck with the heels in my lap, starin’ at my “Trump 2024: Finish the Fight” bumper sticker and whispered:

You were the fight.

Sweatshop tariffs:
Taxes corporations.
Disincentivizes outsourcing and re-industrialization.
Disincentivizes 3rd world exploitation.

General corporation/wealth taxes:
Taxes corporations.
Incentivizes outsourcing and deindustrialization.
Incentivizes 3rd world exploitation.

In what way is a general corporation/wealth tax (what leftists advocate) better than tariffs exactly? Both are taxes, but tariffs lead to socially positive consequences when the rich try to dodge the tax, while general corporation/wealth taxes lead to socially negative consequences when the rich try to dodge the tax.

No one cares about higher costs

MIGA logic

Think business, stupid

There's no such thing as a tarrif surcharge. That's why. It's a made up concept. It's not a tax. The consumer doesn't pay it.

I want it all itemized, from where, chink tariffs, jew tariffs, jew grifts, you name it, like that Texas town that found out over four million dollars in taxes a year is being stolen from them by jews to go to israel.

Thinking the taxes goes to anyone but into the Elites' pockets.

This is why you are oppressed.

left has no ideology, they operate strictly on feelings and orders. remember occupy wallstreet and how all it took for them to become PRO WALLSTREET is for wallstreet start funding their faggot parades

no tariff -> price go up

tariff -> price go up but we'll blame it on the consumer for not voting right/enough

This. All taxes get passed onto the consumer. What makes tariffs superior to corporation/wealth/etc taxes is that when companies try to dodge taxes it leads to outsourcing, relocation to tax havens, exploitation of the 3rd world etc, but when companies try to dodge tariffs it leads to the redevelopment of local industry, local job creation etc.

Both tariffs and taxes raise money for the state at the cost of higher prices for consumers, but where they differ is that tariffs are much more robust against tax evasion strategies. You cannot just outsource to a sweatshop country or relocate to a tax haven in order to dodge tariffs. The only way to dodge tariffs is to invest in local industry and create local jobs. Companies are always going to try to evade taxes, and tariffs exploit this, effectively weaponizing corporate greed against the corporations.

Free marketeers can argue that tariffs and taxes are both bad, but leftists don't have any arguments here. Corporation/wealth/etc taxes are strictly inferior to tariffs in every way.

Because the IMPORTER pays the tariff....fucking morons! Regardless of whether or not the importer shifts the cost onto the consumer it's the importer who pays it.

The consumer doesn't pay it.

Not so fast, champ.

I'm born and raised in the Oklahoma panhandle. I was born on red dirt, baptized in diesel, and voted Trump so hard in 2016 I cracked the screen on my voting machine. Hell, I still got a picture of him hangin’ in the shop next to Dale Earnhardt and Jesus.

So when my nephew showed me them Balenciaga Trail Sneakers in neon camo, I figured why not treat myself? They looked like what a future soldier in a civil war might wear to a rave.

Ordered direct from Italy. $895 MSRP. Tariff notice: $312 in “luxury footwear import duties.”

I stared at that number like it shot my dog. Called the customs office and they said it was from Trump’s trade war with the EU—the one I supported while yellin’ about “ownin’ Brussels.”

Now I wear Crocs to the Dollar General and whisper “never again” into the produce cooler.

Think about that next time you think tariffs don't effect honest red blooded Americans.

The elite are currently reeling in terror at the tariffs. Every single corporate news outlet is screaming that the sky is falling. It's obvious to anyone which side the corporate elite is on here.

No it hasn't because they never actually did it you liar

It's obvious to anyone which side the corporate elite is on here.

Indeed, it very much is

Amazon already shows a breakdown of customs and duties in the final price. What Bezos tried to do was to put it all front and center as an anti-Trump political advertisement. He's certainly entitled to it but like any other political statement, Trump voters are also entitled to rebuke it at shameless political pandering.

Wait so tariffs also disincentivize immaterial brand worship and wasteful consumerism? Even better.

Tariff charge on item

Buy something else

Wwowooooooaaaahhhh

why can't we know

because you have the freedom to choose

philosophical

Although corporations that are not bad - aka those that make actual products - those lead by honorable White people are of course in trouble.
But the true financial elite the jewish money movers who do not actually produce anything and do not care about product prices, they will make money either way.
In fact if there is an economic crash that is often very valuable for the jews, as they have moved their money elsewhere and then come back after the crash to buy assets for pennies on the dollar

What we really need is NatSoc economic policy that cuts off the international financiers and market manipulators altogether.
But unfortunately that dream was killed in WWII, and its uncertain when or even if it will come back

Leftists basically transformed into free market capitalists overnight.

liberals have always been free market. thats entirely what neoliberalism is based on. here's an ai explainer for you, since you're retarded

Neoliberalism is a political and economic philosophy that emphasizes free-market capitalism, individual liberty, and limited government intervention in the economy and social life. It generally advocates for deregulation, privatization, and lower taxes, arguing that markets are the most efficient way to allocate resources and promote economic growth

this is also where you show your ass by conflating 'liberals' and 'leftists' because trade protectionism is something that fundamentally differentiates the two. leftists are pro-protectionist policies. you would have seen a pretty aggressive tariff plan from a bernie sanders presidency.

It's not a tax.

It literally is

The consumer doesn't pay it.

He literally does

You think this is fucking funny?

I bleed red, white, and blue. Been shootin’ cans off fenceposts since I could walk, married a girl named Liberty, and I keep a copy of the Constitution in my glovebox.

So you can imagine the shame when I ordered a limited edition “Chainsaw Man” anime body pillow as a gag gift and got slapped with $117 in miscellaneous Japan tariffs thanks to a trade memo signed by the Trump administration in 2019.

Had to pay with Apple Pay under my cousin’s name to avoid bein’ judged by my bank.

Came home, stared at that pillow lyin’ on my couch like it was judge and jury.

“You did this to yourself,” it whispered in Japanese.

I don't care about the corporate cost breakdown of how you run your business. Should a line item about CEO compensation be included?

Leftists basically transformed into free market capitalists overnight. It's actually hilarious.

It is! They're entire ideology is devolving into "I hate Trump :("

Why shouldn't tariffs be listed on receipts and bills just like sales tax?

Because if you displayed them honestly, you'd expose the margins on products.
Companies don't want that so they will apply and display "tariff" charges based on retail pricing which is incorrect and also scamming money from people.

I'm actually ok with it, as long as EVERY tax the businesses are paying is also listed. Employment tax, property tax, business tax, filing fees. I want all of them listed, with a link to the code proving it.

Except they have and I’ve been buying all American

It’s the best thing about this update

>The consumer doesn't pay it.

He literally does

to be a bit pedantic, no, the consumer doesn't pay the tariff. the tariff is levied by the govt on the domestic importer, who pays it. the importer technically has the choice to eat the cost and make less profit. ofc, they don't choose that and instead raise prices instead - passing the tariff on to the consumer

I travelled several places around the world. I never saw any country showing their tariffs on bills and receipts. Many foreigners are hypocrite here.

There's a lot more income across all individuals than all corporations, stupid. Imagine if the restaurant you went to added a 10% ingredient procurement line item. A tariff is an import tax. Raise your prices. A platform like Amazon does NOT get to charge an extra fee and claim it's something else.

Companies don't want that so they will apply and display "tariff" charges based on retail pricing which is incorrect and also scamming money from people.

That would be extremely dishonest are you saying they are allowed to display a tariff there that doesnt match the actual real tariff paid?
That is literally fraud I dont think that is the matter at all, the matter is that Trump is kiked and dont want people to know how much tariffs they paid.
When you buy a product it would be trivial for a company to put the exact tariff they had to paid for that product, not some imaginary number

Them you're a fucking idiot because it's literally a line item surcharge made up to charge whatever they want.

import t shirt for $1

sell it for $20

tariff of 100% is imposed

shirt now costs me $2 to import

I charge $40 and claim $20 is a 100% tariff

You're right about one thing, it's fraud.

to be a bit pedantic, no, the consumer doesn't pay the tariff.

ofc, they don't choose that and instead raise prices instead - passing the tariff on to the consumer

So the consumer pays the tariff, like I said
See where your pedantry fot you

Uh, that's pretty straight forward though, is it not? The importer now has to raise the prices because of the tariff, so it is passed onto the consoooomer.

That makes Trump look bad so it’s not necessary

A 100% tariff does not translate to a necessitated 100% increase in retail price. However, this is what retailers will try to do if the fraud line item is allowed to continue. It's no different than a 'shipping and handling' fee that far exceeds postage.

companies breaking the hidden fees laws makes Trump look bad

>refuse to add a Made in America filter option

add that option

results are, like, 10 pages

puts a fucking kike in charge of monitoring antisemitism

MAGA faggots say Trump is working against the ebil jews

So which is it? I'm tired of playing these kosher games.

freedom to choose another product

all from the same 3 companies

Kill yourself.

Sneakers that cost as much as an AK copy

Mental illness.

But they should display them.
It would how items that aren't made outside of the US.
Why would you want to give your money to Chinamen or Europeans?

The importer now has to raise the prices

they don't though. they can take lower margins. they choose not to because they believe higher prices wont price out their current customer base

re-industrialization.

a myth
you will never convince anyone to pay more to do the thing they can do more competitively abroad
tariffs only stifle economic activity, reducing trade, reducing consumption, reducing production, reducing employment, ultimately reducing tax revenue and causing contractions
it's nigger-tier thinking to believe you can force someone to buy your product by government intervention instead of doing it better or cheaper
and without exports your industry won't be bringing money to the country anyway

Taxes taken out of labor check

Pay sales tax on purchases with already taxed money

Pays increased tariff price(another tax)

Why aren't we rioting again?

If you pay $900 for shoes that aren't custom-made then you are a retard and you deserved it.

North Alabama, true American nigger hating good old boy here. Been followin’ this gal on TikTok—@CrystelleBidenBaddie. She swears by the Fenty Heat Gloss Bomb in Hot Chocolit, says it’s like havin’ a high-speed fan blowin’ confidence up your soul.

I ain’t proud, but I ordered it. Figured maybe it’d spice things up with Jolene after Bible study.

Clicked checkout, and the total was **$38.00 for the gloss, $14.95 for shipping, and another $22.80 for a “foreign-origin cosmetic excise tariff” thanks to some clause in the Trump cosmetic provision I cheered for back in 2018.

Jolene laughed so hard she choked on a Werther’s and told me I voted for a man who hates lips and love.

I ain't worn it yet. Just stare at it like a mistake I paid for in three installments.

why would tariff surcharges be shown? amazon is the one selling you the product, they bought it from a non-US source so they're paying for it and then passing the cost to you.

It's the illusion of choice, just like voting.

When they buy a product from Amazon

Why would you support buying from Amazon in the first place instead of locally???

If you were a fast food meal you'd be a double nigger with cheese, a side of fried faggot, and a 32 oz triple tranny with ice.

Because they get a new shipping and handling fee and think they can skirt the hidden fees laws. Bezos is mad because his margins will get hurt marginally as the majority of the income comes from the web hosting

I can totally relate.

I co-founded a militia that disbanded because of a bass boat dispute. Had “Build the Wall” shaved into the back of my head in 2019. My Amazon password is “BenGhazi420”.

So when I saw them Nike Air VaporMax Plus in Arctic Orange, I got weak. They looked like what a tactical angel might wear if he vaped peach mint.

Bought ‘em. $210 MSRP, $98 “Pacific Rim Rubber Commodity Tariff Adjustment” slapped on at checkout.

I wore them once to the gun show. A guy named Chuck called me “woke Yeezy.” I went home, took ‘em off, and prayed for death.

I can't believe I fell for that orange conman.

you will never convince anyone to pay more to do the thing they can do more competitively abroad

this is why they constantly concede that domestic production has to be heavily automated. even if their wildest dreams come true and companies slam down a ton of domestic factories, there won't be millions of low skill factory jobs popping up. there'll be a handful of robotics engineering and floor supervisor jobs to keep the robot arms moving

I don’t like it either but the libtards and demonrats are really out to get him. So let’s just sweep this under the rug and pretend it was pedo joes fault. The best defense is not discussing it

there won't be millions of low skill factory jobs popping up.

No shit. That model has been obsolete in modern manufacturing for a good 50 years now. In what possible reality is civilization going to model itself around the goal of paying some mouth breather like you 50$ an hour and a pension after 30 years to do the same 1" weld on a car door every day? Spoiler alert even China is automating those repetitive retard jobs because robots can do it even cheaper and more reliably than a slant eye'd peasant.

Because tariffs are not calculated on basis of retail consumer prices but wholesale import prices only. These are mostly so low compared to retail prices that even a high percentage on them only make a small part of the final retail price. Merchants don't want consumers to know the difference between their wholesale import and our retail prices. Guess why.

this!
See

Because it's antisemitic?

why are you randomly mad at me? lol

Spoiler alert even China is automating those repetitive retard jobs

yeah because china is having a massive middle class explosion. but there's still plenty of labor markets with sweatshot factories like vietnam, bangladesh, myanman, etc

retroactively going back and adding a tariff surcharge on an imported item you purchased before the tariffs took effect

Amazon and its business partners are the scum of the earth.

Democrats not upset about breaking of laws they passed because Trump bad

Good argument

if democrats cared about global warming and poor people in america, they never would've allowed all our industries to be shipped off to the other side of the planet

Yeah if they import $2 t-shirt and pay $1 tariff on it, if they display anything else than $1 tariff then that would be fraud.
It's exactly the same as if I had a company and put more taxes as expenses than I really paid and then charged it from you. That is fraud, plain and simple.
This really sounds to me that kiked MIGAers don't want the real tariffs to be shown in prices, for some reason. Because showing wrong amount of tariff would be fraud

It never mattered what you chose.
Trump has a converso kike daughter married to a kike, their children are jewish.
All of Biden's three kids married to jews.
Kamala is a jeet, married to a jew. Not to mention ridiculous even the concept of having a jeet run a White country - the founding fathers that founded a White country "for free white persons of good moral character" rolling in their graves.

The real chance was if USA never participated in the war against Germany and had let Germans push the Judeo-Bolsheviks back to the Urals.
It wouldn't have taken many years for all people's of the world to realize how much superior the NatSoc system is and that they need to get rid of their kike parasites too.
And the kikes days of feasting on White people's countries would be over.
No multiculturalism destruction would have happened either, as there would have never been around jews to push it all.
In Europe all Nazi parties are literally banned, you can't vote for an anti-jewish option here either.

Democracy has failed. The only solution is revolution.

Yeah its almost like its the most retarded tax policy in modern history and the only people willing to defend it have to invent elaborate fictions about how it works and what effects it will have or just support it because anything that makes liberals mad must be good.

this is why they constantly concede that domestic production has to be heavily automated.

there'll be a handful of robotics engineering and floor supervisor jobs to keep the robot arms moving

and this is a good thing.
it's not only due to all the economic blight due to gibs, not all the societal destruction they do due to rape and murder, not all the fact that they dont belong in White socities why all the nonwhites need to go.
It's also the fact that labor shortages are the best way to progress forwards, it forces to drive wages to such levels that ultimately it makes more sense and is cheaper to automate
Automation is always good

Look my fellow magapede we cant let it get out that trump fucked up this bad. We need to distract everyone by making up some bullshit that way we can get back to important things like getting rid of Medicare so we can keep funding Israel our greatest and most important ally that is the number 1 concern. We don’t have time to be discussing tariffs anymore. Please try to keep up and also remember eggs are not expensive If we keep gaslighting people by pretending they went down.

There is actually some sense to this madness, I have to admit, no matter how much I hate the kiked Trump.
The thing is that USD is absurdly overvalued, they print an insane amount of dollars to give to the niggers as gibs and the only way how they can keep up such high amount of nonwhites without taxing the White people to absolute gills. Not to mention their way way oversized government and military who builds bases all around Earth.

The thing is that the reserve currency status shields them from inflation a lot, effectively letting them export a lot of their inflation to other countries - an extraordinary privilege as Charles De Gaulle once said.
If USD wasn't the de-facto reserve currency of the world, they would be having Zimbabwe levels of inflation.
Americans have way more wealth than their productivity is and this is due to being able to print dollars without getting the Zimbabwe inflation that comes from it.
The thing is though, this paper wealth lead to situation where producing shit got so expensive it all moved abroad.

It's still not necessarily a problem AS LONG AS it all stays the same and USD keeps it reserve currency status.
But the thing is they have been lately printing an absolutely insane amount of dollars and most of that goes to jewish pockets now that then use those printed dollars to buy assets not only in USA but also abroad.
If the rest of the world has a rethink about USD and starts to use a better reserve currency instead, pretty much literally any other currency than USD, it would absolutely destroy the value of USD and make it almost worthless overnight, giving USA the Zimbabwe inflation they are due.

So it is actually important to bring production back to USA, its not just jobs but generally the ability of the nation to survive in the case the rest of the world decides to move away from USD, not wanting to pay their consoom party anymore.

Sweden, you have a 25% VAT which is a type of tariff.

Of course Americans being stupid, Trump has to reframe it as if "other countries are taking advantage of USA" to make it more palatable for the American public.
He can't just say that jews and Reaganism and removing all regulations on the financial markets and the fuckton of moneyprinting that followed fucked us all, and its our own fault for not keeping an eye on the jews.
So he blames the rest of the world instead - Americans cheering.
If anything, its the other way around, so far USA has given paper to other countries while other countries give USA actual goods in return.

But there are signs that the trust in the almighty dollar is waning due to extreme amount of printing theyve been doing, the rest of the world is losing a lot by keeping playing the game.

So Trump is hedging bets for USD to possibly lose the reserve currency status and then huge portion of its value. This is actually a smart thing to do.

The economist whose paper laid a foundation for this plan is not dumb, its from Stephen Miran's "A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System". Of course its a bit simplistic and catered to American audiences again absolving the jews and americans overall of their own responsibility in the situation, but otherwise its quite accurate, the main thesis is that USD is absurdly overvalued.

Whether tariffs are the tools to fix it, well that remains to be seen. It is one tool but whether its the right one, dont know.

Everyone knows that the real tools for fixing economies, that is kicking out the jews and transforming to a NatSoc economy, that will never happen as long as jews exist

Only Nazi economic policy can make your economy 6 times larger in 6 years, but that will not happen, jews are currently too strong.
But I do have hope that one day, one day we will get rid of the jews for good

It's worse than a tariff, it taxes all goods, even domestic produced ones.

Display them. We don't care.

1. Amazon doesn't keep track of what product comes from what country. So the idea that they can keep track of country-specific tariffs is impossible.

2. Bezos himself came out and said it was fake news.

As usual, leftists are either stupid or lying which is why they are getting less and less popular.

You think we just announced and implemented those in the span of a month in a position where most of our economy is built around cheap imports while also constantly shifting the levels around more or less randomly by literal decrees in ways that make it impossible for businesses to make long term plans?

Because that's never been done before.
why is it necessary know?
Do you believe NO imported products, until Trump, had tariffs?

companies should be forced to show the tariff by law so you can calculate their wholesale cost and figure out how much they're jewing you.

leftists are mentall ill nigger and need to be put away one way or the other
its the only conclusion Ive come to
they have no principles other than that they want you dead
whatever you do, they woppose it, because they want you dead

you have no idea wtf you are talking about

You're busy worrying about the important stuff like that slapper saying nigger

Not a bad idea at all.
Actually probably the reason why some don't want them being shown, as pointed out by Of course jew can always jew around it, for example they can set up a totally-completely-unrelated company in another country and buy from it
The only real possibility to stop all jewing especially international one is NatSoc economic policy.
And we already saw what happened last time it was tried, all the jewish lapdogs will murder you for trying to free yourself from the jewish grip

There's a lot more income across all individuals than all corporations

that is what i said, that corporations pay very little

If you look at the liberal voting base, they kept the niggers but got the majority of suburban middle class voters, while the Republicans got all the working class whites and the Mexicans. It's really an odd political balance. The real question becomes do the niggers become republicans next? The Jeets and Jews all swung republican. Or do suburban whites who can afford segregation simply not care about cities (which is fair enough).

Hiw do these tariffs work then? Is the importer or exporter responsibe for paying? When do they pay?

USD to possibly lose the reserve currency status

What would that mean? Hyperinflation in the US?

kys newfag

Uh huh. And what happens if the consumer just doesn't buy it? Who pays then? You seem to assume everyone needs everything at all times and can never live without.

And taxing the rich doesn't?

So Trump is hedging bets for the Federal Reserve Note* to possibly lose the reserve currency status

the US Dollar is a unit

This isn't a scumbag political stunt in order to make the customer pay more money

You are utterly fucking retarded.

Because "liberals" love corporate tax, do you hate it?

This is ignoring the fact that it just enables more greedflation. Companies are never, ever going to lower their prices ever again once they realize exactly how much consumers will pay for it, even if the tariffs go away.

Also this increases startup costs to businesses which cucks americans into wage slaving even harder.

I would want it.
Then I know not to buy it

Because MAGA trash will find it harder to believe that they're better off from tariffs if they actually itemize the receipt.

33

you'll be waiting a long, long time for that answer devin. they might figure it out more though, when their stills need new kits and parts.

hating whites, gay sex with minors, criminalizing regular male sexuality.

thats it.

a california kike made it legal to spread AIDS, and made it so you cant become a registered sex offender if you rape underaged boys

I unironically want it to be. I want to be able to calculate their actual cost. I think tax should also be listed separately on things like gas.

Wouldn't keeping the tariff surcharge hidden be a bad thing for consumers? It just means companies can charge more for products and blame the tariffs for it because nobody's actually gonna know how much of that cost comes from the tax itself and how much of it is the company trying to heap a little more on the top.
