🤔 Who Really Pays the Tariffs?

🇺🇸 Most people think tariffs hurt other countries, but they're actually taxes that American consumers pay on imported goods.

Here's how it really works: when the US puts tariffs on Chinese goods, China doesn't pay anything directly. Instead, American companies importing those goods pay the tariff, and they pass that cost to consumers through higher prices.

So when you buy something that used to cost $100 but now costs $130 because of a 30% tariff, that extra $30 goes to the US government, not China. You're literally paying more for the same product.

💰 The idea is that higher prices will make people choose American-made products instead. But here's the problem: we don't make everything in America anymore, and the things we do make often use imported parts and materials.

So tariffs end up hurting American businesses that rely on imported materials, American consumers who pay higher prices, and American workers whose companies become less competitive globally.

💡 It's like punching yourself in the face to hurt your opponent. You feel all the pain, but they barely notice. Meanwhile, other countries just find new markets to sell their products to.

Trade wars sound tough and patriotic, but they usually end up being expensive taxes on regular people trying to buy everyday items. The politics might sound good, but the economics hurt your wallet.

💸 Are you ready to pay more for everything to "win" a trade war?
