Say what?

Tariffs are paid by the importer or by their shipping companies, not the importee. That's why foreign countries oppose them when they're enacted, it's a tax on them.

kiryandil (moi) wrote earlier to another poster on this thread: Now, the Leftists like to hide and befog information that undermines their arguments. I should hope that you're not cut from that same bolt of cloth...

I call it "lying by omission" or "lying by obfuscation". We saw it during the impeachment wars with Hillary's flying monkey, "journalist" Sid "The Squid" Blumenthal, he of the "Nuts & Sluts" strategy.

Are you REALLY going to go there, Partisan Gunslinger?

The cost of tariffs are passed along to the consumer. Who was more dependent on imported goods and who was paying more per capita for them, northerners or southerners?
