    Other countries don’t pay tariffs, people who buy the products do. So regular people.

      Rich people pay people to design a product, without having to pay their employees income tax> send it overseas to be built > when the product comes back all the consumers pay a ridiculous amount for necessities because the cost of the terrif is absorbed into the price of the product. In the long run, consumers pay the tax in a different form, but the wealthy don’t have to pay that chunk that the employer matches.
