The tariff just gets added to the cost of the product. We, the tax payer consumer pays the tariff.

Not totally true.

Competition limits how much suppliers of stuff can add to the price.

Remember a lot of stuff comes from other countries where they are not subject to the tariff.

As a result very often the importer actually absorbs a good deal of the cost of the tariff.

I should know as my business consists of importing mechanical components from China.

If all of these jobs came to american we would have to bring the workers to fill the positions also. 7 months ago everyone here that wanted to work had a job available, there were also lots of unfilled positions available for those who chose not to work.

Same problem with my LL Bean clothes.

I just love to shop ( not right now ) I do buy high end but that’s just me , most people here are not going to notice the difference in the black T shirt I’m wearing from Amani for $90 and the one from Walmart for $10 by I do and so do my friends. People may scoff at that kind of shopping but retail is a large part of the economy from low end to high end it says something about the wealth gaps in the country that high end retail, jewelry, cars and condos in many cities like Boston and Miami Beach are still doing well . I do get bored with clothes I buy so I change up a lot, which makes the Vietnamese pedicure people happy wherever I am , you see I’m 5ft 6 /139 so I can recycle all those clothes to there husbands and sons because especially here In villages there the only ones who can wear them
