A tarrif at point of entry is paid by the country of origin and goes right into the govt revenue coffer. Same with a tax on remittances heading out of the country.

Wherever it’s initially paid, tariffs are a forced added cost that the consumer ends up paying in higher prices.

The real point is no one can explain how tariffs address the core issues of why businesses are fleeing this country and the resulting slow growth of GDP.

A tariff at point of entry is paid by the person importing the goods, not by the person in the country they were exported from.

And sales taxes are paid by sellers, and corporate income taxes are paid by firms, right?
