[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tariff revenue is up because of the 10% tariffs Trump put into place. That's a tax hike on American consumers.

Look at all that extra money US citizens paid for basic goods! [/quote]

I'm anti tariff, but it is absolutely true that depending on the scale and structure of a sales tax, the degree to which it is absorbed by producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers varies. A 10% tariff may largely be absorbed by the producers and distributors, whereas that isn't possible for a 50% tariff. We'll see how things go.[/quote]

Thank you. You are a complete partisan idiot if you think tariffs are paid 100% by the American consumer.

I was for tariffs when Biden implemented them on China and I am for them now. Tariffs are historically a thing that Union loving Dems do to support American manufacturing. I’ve been a Dem my whole life and my grandparents were in unions and it changed my family’s trajectory. I have been pro union, pro tariff, and anti country club Republicans my whole life. I’m not going to pretend they’re a bad idea now and repeat free market conservative rhetoric even if it’s regurgitated by NPR or some DNC talking head. [/quote]

Tariffs are fine when done sparingly. There are magnitudes of scale here though thankfully, Trump did not actually implement what he intended.
