> a tariff is just a tax. a tax on anything is a tax on everything no. thats complete bs. domestic impatiens have cost curve a utilizing only domestically produced inputs, implementing tariffs does not change their cost curve one iota. there is no tax at that point. it is pure kikery to claim that taxing international shipments means taxing domestic production. sure in our current kiked up economies they overlap massively, but never mistake one for the other as you have just done. and with that your entire argument falls to bits. because what tariffs do is to incentivize domestic production by raising the prices for international production. this leads to the building of an entirely self sufficient economy from top to bottom. for large resource rich states like the usa this is a massive win. for poor secluded ones like the uk its fucking over.
