This is all publicly available information, Brenda.

And away we go
Looks Like I am right again
Congress not judges. Your words Doris

Just one of many. You were silent. Where was your rage? Trump will simply use levies for the moment while we dispose of more lawfare from you communists via the courts. .
-
They are going to keep taxing you (yes, you, tariffs are a tax on YOU). The goal is to increase tax burden on the middle/lower class and decrease on the oligarchs.

Good
Cry harder
There are plenty of taxes to eliminate. Let's get busy

Ironic in that the oligarchs pay far more than their fair share of taxes. The goal is for fair trade, protection of strategic supplies and intellectual property protection. Leftards have no problem in taxing and feeing the American middle class to death. But since Trump supports fair trade through tariffs AOG goes ape sh*t. Just don't describe leftards as playing for the away team. What is the functional difference between AOG and a Chicom lobbyist?

High-Income Taxpayers Paid the Majority of Federal Income Taxes. In 2022, the bottom half of taxpayers earned 11.5 percent of total AGI and paid 3 percent of all federal individual income taxes. The top 1 percent earned 22.4 percent of total AGI and paid 40.4 percent of all federal income taxes.

Taxes are supposed to come from Congress. Can somebody cite an example of a president ever sticking it to the middle/lower classes with taxes on his own, especially with a fake "emergency" declaration (either way, I doubt it). I suspect 50% at least of Trump supporters think the foreign exporter pays the tariffs, no doubt helped to this conclusion because Mr Trump claims tariffs are "paid by China" etc.

What taxes do you want to cut?
-
Tariffs aren’t taxes for the millionth time.
-
OK, I won't call it a tax any longer. It's a government-imposed fee you pay on goods and services imported into a country. Now are you happy?
-
What rate of a ten percent tariff are consumers required to pay?
-
Virtually every country levies tariffs on US made products to protect their manufacturers. You lefties say we can't! You always back the global cabal and the communists!

Fill us in on these on this brilliant scheme that has out manufacturers moving their plants to foreign countries and employing foreign workers while we lose those jobs Can't wait to hear from you.

Buying metals and minerals from dirty chicom mines and smelters is good for the planet. Buying US mined and smelted metals and minerals which are produced in clean mines and smelters is bad for the planet.

These are GOOD taxes
-
Like I said, they just pretend that they care.
-
AOG, paging AOG. Answer the question.
-
It's different when we? Do it.
-
How you really know that they don't know a fucking thing!
-
It's a rhetorical question. Obviously, the importer pays 100% of the
taxI mean fee (unless the exporter negotiates to bear some of the cost). The importer can pass on anywhere from 0% to infinity% or whatever if resold. They might even decide to discount (-x%). Now fuck off. -
A question arises. How much of a sales tax or gas tax is passed onto the consumer?
-
All depends on elasticity, which is way over AOG’s head.

Bob C is trying to pull an argument from authority, which tries to explain away huge tariffs, which are
taxes, oh, I mean fees, with economic buzzwords and condescension. -
Bob C the fake intellectual

A tax per gallon is collected at the pump and remitted to the state. The sales tax is a percentage of the retail price and collected at the register and remitted to the state. The seller retains the sales price. That is the elastic portion. If the retailer has a 20% gross margin and he charges $100, they send $8 (8% sales tax rate) to the state. If he wants a 33.3% gross margin he charges $120 on for his $80 of CGS. And sends $9.60 in collected sales tax to the state.
With a tariff, the seller can legally avoid the tariff or minimize it from buying from either a domestic source or from buying from a lower tariff country. Just like people in Washington drive across the border to Oregon and buy stuff and drive it back to Washington and then illegally not remit the use tax to Olympia. Legal versus illegal avoidance.

Some will pass them along to consumers, but they will pay for that indirectly through market share losses if their competition or substitution does not pass them along. This isn’t an appeal to authority, it’s basic stuff that you can’t seem to grasp.
-
You're just trying to smoke people with economic ramifications… yes, the market will change. I didn't say it wouldn't. No amount of intellectualization stops the tariffs. I can beat you at your game here.
-
"No amount of intellectualization stops the tariffs. I can beat you at your game here."
Interesting is that you have argued there is no rational intellectual support for Trump's tariffs and yet all your "intellectualization" hasn't stopped the tariffs. So, I guess you get a check mark on that. Keep playing for the away team.

What else is there to discuss besides economic ramifications?
