re: Will you pay more?

Truly, how have those tariffs charged by other countries affected your life or your fellow American's life? I know they haven't affected my life. In fact, life has been pretty awesome for most of us, imo. In the grand scheme of things, most of us have decent food on our plates every day, we're free from war, our kids are free to pursue their dreams, a paper cut isn't going to kill you because we have easy access to antibiotics, we get a few vacations a year, and retirement accounts and homes that trend upwards. Like, what more do we need? If you can't find happiness with those things, then you won't find happiness with more (Maybe I need Chickfila open on Sunday, but I don't need much more). We are currently the 1%ers of human existence. It's just my Buddhist-like tendencies coming out, but existence is inherently hard, and most of us are lucky that we get to play it on easy mode.

Anyways, sorry for getting philosophical in an economic thread. I'll take it back to the subject: As an American manufacturer, the tariffs will not benefit me. They will only harm me. I'll pay more and sell less. You want to help me? Get out of my way and let me do what I do best, and don't tax me to death when I succeed.
