What was the point of these tariffs?!

[Wilson23]

As I recall, the whole point of tariffs was supposed to be the same as it was in the 19th Century -- not to raise revenue, but to stimulate the growth of American industry, by relieving it from competition from foreign imports (at least in the domestic market).

Is anything like that happening now?

 

[JohnEngelman]

Tariffs are the recourse of countries that cannot compete on the international marketplace.

A couple of communist upset the American people, who they literally want to tax to death, are taxing people from other countries a bit....how dare we!!!

Anything other than "America LAST!! FUCK THE USA!!!!" really gets you guys tirggered.

Why do you guys hate the USA so much??

They're WONDERFUL PROGRESS when China and Europe do it.....you love them doing it to us and never complain about that, just praise and worship of the comrades!!!

Yes, why do you think the EU and China are sooooooooo fucking pissed off??

Same reason you are, the enemies of the USA aren't doing so well now that Democrats aren't holding us economically hostage for them. Poor haters of America ....you guys are going to have a bad time.

Tariffs, in trump world, is another tax model that the average American pays. Those that believe otherwise also believe Mexico will pay for the wall, bleach will covid and the list goes on. Its a tax on business and consumers.

And since when was that ever a problem for the left??

Wasn't there something about a tax (tarriff) on tea a few years back? Asking for a jihadist friend.

Lol your reply is like all of your posts, nonsensical. Bottle your hate and sell it along with gold sneakers and various other paraphernalia at the next casino rally.

It's not nonsensical. You just don't like the "Taxes are only bad when OTHERS do them, they're WONDERFULL PROGRESS when we do them!!!" bullshit I'm pointing out.

Bottle your hate and sell it

I'm not a Democrat.

 

[heathrowinneo]

It's not nonsensical. You just don't like what I'm getting at.



I'm not a Democrat.

Ill use the bigger word for your posts, non sequitur

Not that either, because I'm on topic, what I'm actually doing is 'whataboutism' or the tu quoque fallacy.

I'm not actually refuting what you said, just pointing out that you're a total hypocrite and partisan tool.....good ol' ad hom at it's core.

Now you're slightly more educated than the average product of the pub-Lick "education" system. You're welcome.

Why doesn't that ever apply to the beloved Euorpean nations you lefties fetishize?

Keep chasing your tail.

Being factually correct is chasing my tail??

...because they are being taken advantage of by other countries.

I am opposed to all tariffs because I love to buy imported goods.

 

[JohnEngelman]

We are not being taken advantage of by China. The Chinse produce better goods than American companies. They charge less for them.

So you just choose to ignore it when you are doing it, it's only bad when orange man taxes the consumer.

 

[Bray123]

The point is for Trump to say, "prices are going down" whilst prices are going up, then for him to do a massive insider dealer trade the day before cutting the tariffs so he makes a yuge profit and his cultists say, 'See, that's a smart businessman. Aren't we lucky he's in charge.'

That's right. I want the tax load to go to the rich.

 

[Chadrone]

LOL.....you think the rich pay those taxes?? Suddenly the laws of economics vanish and corporations just eat the taxes and don't pass anything on to consumers. That only happens when orange man goes around taxing them.....right??

This is like the leftist disconnect that prohibition doesn't work......except for scary looking gun accessories, that totally stops mass shootings. Just like "gun free zone" signs.

"it's different when we do it"

Morons think other countries pay the tariffs and not the american people.

Those people are imbeciles.

Broke ass bitch.

A tariff is not a tax on foreigners. Americans pay every dime.

Taxes go down, things get worse -- haven't you learned that yet? There have been no exceptions since the income tax was created.
