The price that the US consumer pays is irrelevant to the Free Traitor. This has been explained to me many times by many a Free Traitor on Free Republic.
Free Traitor speak: A corporation owes its allegiance and exists only to maximize profits for it's share holders ( at least public companies). So if a tariff allows them( a domestic producer) to charge more for their product and they don't lose market share to one of it's domestic competitors and demand stays the same then a corporation benefits from the tariff. Free Traitors should be happy with tariffs.

You've stumbled onto the truth. Tariffs benefit favored domestic producers and benefit government while harming US consumers.
