“Tariffs that we assess on other countries are paid by the importer of record here in the United States. In other words, American businesses – large and small – pay the extra taxes.”
Maybe that should be a clue that we should, as consumers, stop buying Chinese $hit and give American workers a chance to make the same products. At this juncture, I’d be willing to pay higher prices knowing that the products were made here and an American worker got paid to do it. This is just another example of the “free $hit” mantra. At the end of the day, if we buy everything from the Chinks, we won’t have any money left to do it because we will all unemployed.
I have recently noticed “Made in USA” tools for sale at Lowes, with brand names that had previously been exclusively on “Made in China” tools. The USA stuff seems to be of better quality, with a slightly higher price.
When given the chance to prove this at the cash register, Americans never do it. It's always, "Yeah, but my family can't afford to do that."
