Still, it seems like a strewed investor would take into consideration that the viability of these new businesses may be in doubt considering that many consumers will likely find the 30% to 40% price increase too large of a pill to swallow and simply cut back on their consumption of these products.
The fact of the matter is, governments involve themselves in trade and “Big Business” involves itself with government which means we don’t actually have “Free” trade. The answer to leveling the playing field, to a great extent, is to get government out all together. It should be understood by now that EVERYTHING the government touches does not turn to gold or anything else of value.
Tariffs have many very bad consequences so before you support a politician who claims to be standing up for American workers by taxing imports, just remember, a tax on imports is a tax on you and takes money out of the economy. Maybe we’ll all get 40% raises to make up for it….Uhmm, probably not. It seems like I remember that it was a revolt against tariffs or something that started the American Revolution. Oh yeah, the country on whom the tariffs are put sometimes retaliate.
