6. Earth to Howard Lutnick...Tariffs are CONSUMER TAXES!

How easily Americans are being duped that the country exporting goods to the US are paying the higher costs, when the opposite is actually true. American consumers are being forced to pay the higher costs as markets close for American manufacturers.

Take the Farmers of this country, as well as the Corporate farms. NO workers and NO markets to sell their crops means prices go up and product shortages. Why is that so hard to comprehend? Perhaps Americans prefer to be LIED to so that they have something to pin on Democrats and continue to vote for Republicans.

Talk about a fucking circus!
