    The poorer you are, the more you pay.

    From what I understand
    The Domestic Producer/Purchaser will pay the Tariff
    Since they don't like that . . they will Pass the Cost to the Domestic Consumer

    i.e. Something cost domestic producer 4$ and they Sell it for 5$ for a 1$ Profit
    NOW with the Tarriff is still cost 4$ Plus the Tarriff 1$. .. so the Domestic producter is paying 5$
    . . .. and they sell it to the customer for 6.50$ because. . . they can not blame the extra 1.50 on Tarriffs
    because they ARE NOT getting less than their 1$ profit

    Whoever pays the government pays the tariff. It’s just that simple.
    Everything in the price is part of the cost of doing business. The cost a customer pays for a good includes dozens of sub line items and we don’t go into this ridiculous argument breaking these costs down and the tariff is just one of dozens.
