To be clear, this theory doesn’t invalidate what you said.

It’s more like the US switching sides in WWIII. Exactly like, in fact.

Is this like making Covid go to zero by not counting cases any more? (It’s a rhetorical question, no need to answer)

You’re saying a tariff doesn’t count as a tax because it gets hidden in the final price of goods?

Maybe corporate America will tack on a “tariff fee” like those bs restaurant service fees to tell consumers it’s not their fault.

It would be accurate to call a tariff what it is: a tax. Maybe the downside is ostrich-heads won’t be able to bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not a tax.

People are very used to paying taxes that don’t show up on their pay statement. Things like sales tax, property tax.

Not bad. I can picture that with the squiggly animation from the Simpsons shorts on the Tracy Ullman show.
