US importers and American consumers pay Trump’s Tariffs, not China

We pay for the Tariffs, not China.
I wish more people recognized that fact instead of thinking everything Trump does is so good for America. There will be more bad effects from his moves.
dumbass has it backward. If we want China to pay more, then we need to raise the prices of the goods we sell to them. Except we buy more shit from them than they do from us. Too bad Trump didn't pay attention in college in his Econ classes. For the tariffs to really have an effect on China, we have to stop buying their shit.

That's not ever going to happen. Americans like paying $1000 for a phone that cost less than $100 bucks to manufacture, same thing with shoes, clothes, appliances, IKEA crap and all the rest of that throw away shit. Those idiots don't know the difference between a waterfront property on a real lake and a "waterfront" property on a retention pond. Nor do they understand that homes built now only have a life expectancy of less than 50 years.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 4:09 pm dumbass has it backward.

We've become a throw away nation. Greedy and loving things that money buys.

Yeah, I know. But for Trump to think that a Tariff war with China is gonna do anything but backfire is laughable.CockatooCrazyColt529 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 6:04 pmThat's not ever going to happen.
