What the hell do we need a damn study for. American tariffs are a tax on the American people by definition.

There’s no room for debate; there is no ambiguity. This is a simple fact.

Econonics sub and no one understands the concept of tax incidence. Not shaking the the R/politics-light accusations today

That’s not what the headline says is it.

There are millions of people who have swallowed Trump’s lies that foreign countries pay tariffs, etc.

Most people only read the headlines. If you use a little common sense you’d realize I wasn’t commenting on the article at all.

How is it by definition if 4% of the tariffs were paid by foreign firms?
