    No. American consumers are taxed even if no companies move. Tariff increases production costs & limits competition. This is basic economics.https://twitter.com/scottadamssays/status/805610534955401216 …

    No, the whole point is that no company would move with that risk hanging over them. So no tax is triggered. https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/805436696133304324 …

        Pres-Elect Trump means well. But won't his 35% tariff idea raise prices on American families? How would it not be a new 35% tax on families?

        yeah but that's not only it. if a company wants to move, it's to reduce costs. Can't reduce costs-->increases prices

        taxes support schools/1st responders; regulations often abt safety. So that change is "cost" to consumers too.
