Tariffs do not tax us.

Tariffs tax our competition.

Seriously? Tariff: A tariff may be either tax on imports or exports (trade tariff)

It's a tax on IMPORTS. Who pays the tax? The importer - the US consumer. You're woefully ignorant if you believe otherwise.

When a product from Brazil is imported into the US, who collects the tariff? Who pays that tariff?

You really need to educate yourself...
