Why would Mexico increase the price of its goods due to our tariffs which tax our domestic distributors? Our tariffs do not affect what Mexico will get - the contract price between Mexican and America distributors is already established. Our tariffs directly injure the American consumer.
The forced increase in prices here could lead to a lower demand for the Mexican goods and may mean higher demand for the same goods elsewhere, but not necessarily from the U.S. But again that means the America consumer’s choices of best quality for best price has been artificially limited. That is bad news for the American consumer and the American economy.
The argument is that our tariffs on Mexico will cause them to inflate their prices. If so, Americans will turn away from goods produced there or elsewhere which will encourage Americans who could then compete to manufacture.
What are you willing to give up for the “best price”. Because currently we’re giving up our country.
Let me help you.
Companies who want to advertise Made in American or are required to be made in America for government contracts start the product here - send it to Mexico for all of the manufacture, then send the product back and the final 10% or 5% is completed here.
He’s going after all those American companies that are doing this.
