Explaining What Tariffs Do

[Ponca Dan]

In such easy terms even those that @Sunburnt Indian calls the board’s slow would understand if they’d read it. Unfortunately the board’s slow are slow because they won’t read it. Come on guys! You’ve been led to the apple tree of knowledge. Take a bite!

Tariffs Are Theft - Antiwar.com

The US and China came closer to a full-fledged trade war last week when China imposed tariffs of up to 15 percent on key US agricultural exports. This was retaliation for President Trump’s increasing of tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States from 10 percent to 20 percent. China’s…

Funny how the only tariffs and trade restriction people like you have a problem with are when the US imposes them. You never complain about foreign countries imposing tariffs on US goods.

If foreign governments want to harm their own economy and do damage to their own citizens by imposing tariffs that's up to them. It is bad judgement to want our government to do to us what foreign governments do to their people. We expect our government to act in our best interest. Tariffs do nothing of the sort. So, Bearcat, there's nothing funny about it at all.

Oh so it's OK for foreign governments to abuse our exporters. Got it.

Don't be stupid. It's not okay, but it's up to the citizens being abused to rectify the situation.

LMAO. It's up to citizens of foreign countries to rectify US businesses getting screwed by their government? Yea that's worked out so well these countries still have tariffs on US exporters. SMFH the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting different results.

If tariffs are the good thing you think they are why do you object to other companies imposing them? What you can’t seem to get through your head is tariffs are mostly damaging to the economies and citizens of the countries imposing them. You and DJT seem determined to inflict greater harm on our economy and citizens in an attempt to “get back” at your perceived enemies.

She gave an interesting reply. Almost nothing she said was true but she was operating under the assumption if she says it with enough conviction or authority people will believe her.

You don't get it Dan. You are so caught up in defending your position, reality is going right over your head. Take a look at what Canada did today. Yesterday they were big shots imposing a 25% tariff on electricity they send to some of the northern states. Trump responded by raising tariffs another 25%. Today Canada's balls are not so big, they decided it was in their best interest to not impose the big shot tariffs. LMAO
What you don't like is Trump's sledgehammer approach to get these countries to stop screwing our exporters and our country. We are in 37 trillion in debt and climbing, we can't continue to support the rest of the world with unfair trade practices and billions of tax dollars if we want this country to prosper. Other countries have tariff on American goods, we should place tariffs on their goods. They remove tariffs, we remove tariffs. That is fair and free trade for all.

He thinks Trump is a Bully. Thats all it is right there in a nutshell.
He must have been bullied in School or something.

That's his problem with Israel. He's on of those that will always side with the weak no matter how vile their actions.

If someone punched me, I would object to said conduct, and then punch him back ten times harder.
