Please pretend that the exporter hypothetically pays the tariff. It just changes who is paying who. The end result is the same.

- exe34 1y agoWe don't have to pretend. We know who's paying. It's the consumer/importer.
- charcircuit 1y agoYou are not listening to what I am writing. I am saying that they are equivalent. If you are not going to engage with my comment, why comment?
- exe34 1y agoThey are not equivalent. What usually happens isn't that people buy less foreign and more local, but that local sellers take advantage and raise their prices to be just below the foreign+tariff. the fact is that IRS is collecting money from the suckers who voted for this and you're desperately trying to make it sound like the exporters are paying for it.
